A keen observer of Arctic wildlife from a young age, Kananginak was an expert hunter and documenter. A favourite subject was the Snowy Owl, which can be spotted time and time again in his prints and drawings. Kananginak paid careful attention to their stance and plumage. Here we are treated to a depiction of a mother owl providing for her young chicks. One senses that both mother & chicks are keenly aware that they are being observed and are none too pleased.
