Furthermore, this whimsical pair of eyeglasses in particular reminds us of Annie’s graphic depictions of her grandmother Pitseolak Ashoona’s signature specs! Rather than leave the lens area empty and thus transparent, Jamasie has instead inset pieces of beautiful light green serpentine which, at least when viewed from behind, gives the viewer the impression of looking out at the summer tundra. Marvellous!Provenance
Collection of John and Joyce Price, Seattle.14of 14
