One of a Kind Colourful Beadwork!
Born in Arviat (NU), Mary Tutsiutok is an Inuk sculptor and seamstress.
Her art pieces are often adorned with "necklaces, belts and headpieces".
She uses seed beads, glass beads, bone beads and metal beads to bestow her stone carvings with the perfect "jewelry".
She learned to carved under the tutelage of her famous mother-in-law Lucy Tasseor Tutsuitok.
Mary's SIGNATURE is her Celebration of the Family.
BLENDED FAMILY showcases three Inuks carved in the Baker Lake abstract style.
The natural beauty of the stone and the rudimentary lines of the carving are magnificent.
The unexpected gift is the gorgeous beaded "vest/shawl" that Mary has placed on each figure.
The intense bright colours ignite the sculpture with unbridled energy.
Inuit art enthusiasts cherish these pieces because their raw, primitive style are a reminder of decades gone by.
At the same time, they are appreciated for their minimalist, ultra modern style.
