JAMASEE PITSEOLAK (1968-) KINNGAIT (CAPE DORSET)
signed with artist's stylized monogram, "ᔭᒪᓯ".
Sculpted from stone and enlivened with ba leen and a polar bear claw, this remarkable work reimagines the form of a flintlock pistol with striking originality. The hammer-like structure, trigger placement, and barrel-shaped chamber reveal both precision and playfulness, transforming an object of power into one of artistry. The muskox head handle, carved with commanding detail, anchors the composition with a sense of strength and reverence. Jamasee’s inventive fusion of natural materials and mechanical design captures the tension between tradition and modernity, making this work as conceptually bold as it is visually captivating.
