The Canada Council Art Bank collection holds almost 700 works by artists from northern communities in Canada. To celebrate the National Arts Centre’s Northern Scene, the Art Bank selected a number of works that are remarkable in their materiality — whalebone, beads, fur, feathers, fibre and soapstone.
The works in this exhibition highlight the care given to elaborate stitching and beading by women (Orly Kilabuk and Lizzie Ittinuar), the conceptual nature of more contemporary allusions to family (Doug Smarch), and the use of various materials as decorative elements on a ceremonial object (Tommy Tatatupik).
Artists: Elizabeth Angrnaqquaq, Goota Ashoona, Irene Avaalaaqiaq, Isaaci Etidloie, Emily Illuitok, Lizzie Ittinuar, Orly Kilabuk, Robert Kussy, Enoosik Ottokie, Nick Sikkuark, Doug Smarch, Eva Talukee, Tommy Tatatupik
Curator: Victoria Henry
