Mark Emerak, born at the turn of the 20th century, had probably never held a pencil until the mid 1960s. And, not being a woman, he would have had no direct knowledge of Northern Copper Inuit clothing manufacture, but clearly, he was fascinated with clothing design. These designs are charged with symbolic meaning, but it may have their aesthetics that interested him more. This image depicts five women, three are forward facing and the other two face away from the viewer. We love how the entire surface of the printing stone is used as the background.
