Gjoa Haven transformations can be at first glance, confusing.
One figure morphs into another, or an appendage pops up out of nowhere!
But what is easy to understand, is the joyful spirit of Clayton Keknek.
Humorous, innocent and full of an unearthly spirit, Gjoa Haven art is easily recognizable.
Sometimes it is dismissed and undervalued because of its Grotesque style.
GENEROSITY is a transformation spirit who is carrying a slippery, flipping and flopping fish on his back.
Do you sense that he will take pity on his "lunch" and let him go?!
For many collectors, each Keknek piece illustrates a value.
