The merger of these seemingly contrasting elements provides a refreshing interpretation of transformation within the imagery of Inuit art. Here, muskoxen — a frequent subject of the artist — have been rendered as part of the landscape of mountains. A lone hunter eyes a bird in the sky, while a sliver of the settlement of Kinngait (Cape Dorset) can be seen.Provenance
