While there is only one known print by Mary Igiu, the magnificent 1961 stencil People Of The Sea, she did create a number of exceptional drawings as is evidenced by this wonderful graphite composition. Igiu has literally filled the entire sheet with a repertoire of creatures inspired by the Inuit spirit world, but spun from Igiu’s imagination. One wonders why more of her images were not used by the print shop; Scene of Fantastic Beasts certainly holds its own against any of the “strange scenes” drawn by Cape Dorset artists in the very early 1960s.
