Known for being particularly interested in depicting Inuit myths and stories, Victoria Mamnguqsualuk used this vest as an interesting canvas for storytelling. At the front, two bulbous inuksuit with some brightly coloured foliage framed between their “legs” stand guard on either side of the scene that unfolds on the back of the vest. A collection of animals and humans, mouths agape and eyes upward, all gaze upon a large bird as it spreads its wings to take flight. The flat nature of the felt has been given the subtle illusion of texture throughout, thanks to Mamnguqsualuk’s long chains of feather stitches made from variegated yarn. The figures and landscape have undulating patterns and colours that aid in the feeling of otherworldliness in the scene.
