About this Publication

Cape Dorset sculptor Oviloo Tunnillie is widely considered to be one of the foremost artists of her generation. An unconventional Inuit artist who first came to national and international prominence in the 1990s, Tunnillie is best known for her distinctive stone images of women lost in grief or private contemplation. Though usually generalized, her works are also often strongly autobiographical in nature, reflecting contemporary northern reality as opposed to a mythical and traditional past.

Published to accompany a major 2008 exhibition of the artist's work at Marion Scott Gallery, this engaging 12-page monograph features essays by curator Robert Kardosh and director Judy Kardosh. Includes beautiful illustrations of 8 of the sculptures from the show.
