    Yvo Samgushak was the brother of the stone sculptors Tuna Iquliq and Eli Tikeayak (see lot 55). He came to Rankin Inlet from the Baker Lake area to work at the newly opened nickel mine in the late 1950s. He began carving in stone and ivory but soon became one of the mainstays of the ceramics studio from the mid 1960s until its closure in 1977. When Jim Shirley restarted a ceramics studio at his Matchbox Gallery in 1991, Samgushak instructed a new generation of artists to work in clay. Samgushak’s early works were often spiritual and shamanistic in nature; Vase with Opposing Faces and People is typical of his later style. See Darlene Wight’s Rankin Inlet Ceramics (WAG, 2003), pp. 40-43 for examples of the artist’s work.
