Six-Part Harmony presents itself as a milieu of feathers and appendages, sprayed out in almost every direction, and quite the selection of colours. In the catalogue’s forward, Leslie Boyd Ryan speaks to the work, citing a “banner year for the stonecut studio”,
Kenojuak’s Six-Part Harmony may be the most ambitious print ever undertaken in stonecut, given its complexity, size and the decision to use eight colours! It is truly a monumental and a fitting tribute to Canada’s preeminent Inuit artist. 1
