Jessie Oonark, a leading figure of the Baker Lake printmaking tradition, brings a powerful sense of narrative and symbolism to A Terrifying Challenge. The design is marked by bold forms and striking contrasts, characteristic of Oonark’s graphic style. The dramatic composition portrays two opposing figures, each with a weapon in an upraised hand. Between them is a third figure who is either an arbiter or the subject of their dispute.
