Tuulliq Taanisiqtuq or Dancing Loon conceives of one of Kenojuak’s most famous motifs with a new, intense energy. Against an expanse of white, the delicate wings and feet of the bird sweep back with effortless languor. With this unadorned background, the emphasis is here entirely on the grace of this dancing loon, whose majestic movements, almost acrobatic in motion, would impress even the Baroque masters.
