How is an Inuit carver able to consistently understand the spirit of their subjects?
With this piece, Makittaq has captured the essence of the purpose of an Inukshuk which is to act as a beacon and a guide to the lonely traveller.
This majestic Inukshuk is beautifully executed in the black matte serpentinite stone of Gjoa Haven.
It is deep and rich and gently freckled with a medium green colour.
When you see this stone, you would be correct to think that this is a Gjoa Haven sculpture.
I am drawn to this Inukshuk because of its strength.
Stone Man gives us security and peace knowing that we are finally safe.
