    Lucassie Ikkidluak began carving seriously in 1967. In the mid 1980s Lucassie began carvinga series of muskoxen that would become the major focus of his oeuvre going forward. Today,Ikkidluak is considered to be one of the foremost realist carvers of muskoxen; they look to usas if they might have stepped out of a drawing or print by the great Kananginak Pootoogookand taken three-dimensional form! Ikkidluak makes the interplay of various textures within thesame piece at least as important as the subject itself. This fine windswept muskox is a strikingexample of the seemingly endless degrees of roughness and polish that Ikkidluak is able tocoax from a single piece of stone. From the finely polished hooves and nostrils to the courseand flowing guard hairs, this sculpture is a master class in carving technique.
