Never one to slouch on production quantity, Kenojuak Ashevak produced 8 works for the 2011 Annual Collection, which included a mix of what we’ve come to love and expect from the artist, as well as some experiments in technique and collaboration. Six-Part Harmony presents itself as a milieu of feathers and appendages, sprayed out in almost every direction, and quite the selection of colours. In the catalogue’s forward, Leslie Boyd Ryan speaks to the work, citing a “banner year for the stonecut studio”,


Kenojuak’s Six-Part Harmony may be the most ambitious print ever undertaken in stonecut, given its complexity, size and the decision to use eight colours! It is truly a monumental and a fitting tribute to Canada’s preeminent Inuit artist. 1
