This Inuk face is stunning in its rawness.
The colourful beads are an unexpected surprise.
Suddenly the face is alive and energetic.
The natural beauty of the stone and the rudimentary lines of the carving are magnificent.
Visage is a great emotive sculpture unique to the Inuit artists from this isolated community.
Inuit art enthusiasts cherish these pieces because of their raw, primitive style that are a reminder of decades gone by.
Yet, at the same time, they are appreciated for their minimalist, ultra modern style.
Mary's work is admired for its honesty and simple beauty.
