  • JOSEPHIE POOTOOGOOK, CAPE DORSET/KINNGAIT
Note:

It must have been quite a coup to gain the involvement of revered community elder Pootoogook in the print workshop. His son, Kananginak quickly became an essential figure in the crafts studio.

In this print a tranquil looking seated woman plays a tautiruut (Inuit fiddle).
