Made in 2011, World View was one of the first of many works by Shuvinai Ashoona to feature Earth, and earth-like planets. Here, our own earth is surrounded and orbited by many more “earths,” their accuracy to our own world not being a main focus over appearing ‘earthlike.’ A technically challenging lithograph, the work was expertly printed by Niviaksie Quvianaqtuliaq, a skilled printer of many complex, contemporary works from the Annual Collection.
