Sculpture, Drawings, Prints, Printmaking----------Northern Rock Susan Gustavison (1999)quote from Inuit Art Quarterly 1998It is good when you are able to make a living rom carving, but you don't feel good when you are struggling to make it come to life or when you are quarrying underground and can't pick up a chunk of rock you just broke out of the ground. These things slow you down a lot. you have to use a hammer and an axe and then a shovel to get the chunks of rock out of the gorund.----------"[Jobie has been] employed by the co-operative as an oil delivery truck driver. His carving is usually restricted to weekends in the summertime. He produced a number of fine print editions in 1975 including a Self Portrait. He signs his work in syllabics or English.
