About this Publication

Published in conjunction with the Marion Scott Gallery's celebration of its 20th anniversary in 1995, this fully illustrated catalogue provides an excellent overview of some of the best sculpture from the North. John Tiktak, John Kavik, Lucy Tasseor, Charlie Ugyuk, Barnabas Arnasungaaq and Luke Iksiktaaryuk are just some of the artists represented. Grouped by community, each section of sculpture is preceded by a brief discussion of the stylistic traits specific to that region.

In an introductory essay, curator Norman Zepp vigorously defends the notion of artistic quality, arguing that aesthetic engagement with the work of northerners deepens rather than obscures its cultural meaning.
