Untitled...Throughout her brief career, animals featured prominently in Sheojuk Etidlooie’s works. While some arctic species are depicted with more discernable and recognizable features, some stray into more abstract territory. Untitled Drawing (Red Lemming with Curious Hooks) features a bold, heavily worked-in coloured lemming that is outlined in graphite, but the similarity to the arctic rodent ends there; the face has been reduced to simple shapes, paws are blocks of white pencil crayon, and claws are replaced with slim hooks. Very present on the page, there is a slight menacing air to this lemming, far from their more furtive, fearful nature!Provenance
