Suvaaraq was renowned for his innovative use of antler and fur to depict shamanistic figures and moments of spiritual transformation. Here, Sarah Anautaq Iquliq mirrors his approach by employing antler to craft a dynamic figure deeply engaged in rhythmic drumming, capturing a trance-like state. The inclusion of fur, a material Suvaaraq frequently used, is particularly evocative, as it subtly vibrates with movement, reinforcing the illusion of life and motion.
Provenance
Collection of John & Joyce Price, Seattle, WA.
