Atatsiauk

Settlement: Eskimo Point / Arviat

(1947) — E1-21

Exhibitions 2001 Sculpture from the Central Arctic, Harris Gallery of Fine Inuit Art, Toronto, ON 1997 Amulets to Art: An Exhibition of Arctic Jewellery, Spirit Wrestler Gallery, Vancouver, BC -------- As a boy, Atatsiak, watched patiently as his father, Tony Atatsiak, carved antlers. His aunt, Eva Talooki Aliktiluk, is also carver and she encouraged the young Atatsiak to make a living from his work. Today, at 30, the self-taught artist supports his wife and two children from his sporadic income. Atatsiak travelled to Lunenburg, N.S., several years ago. In addition to developing a taste for lobster, he sold several carvings. Motivation permitting, Atatsiak works every day outside his apartment while plugged into CBC or his CD player. "I carve in any weather except rain," Atatsiak said. Atatsiak's advice to young carvers? "Just do it. Don't wait," he said. Atatsiak's pieces range from $150 to $3,500. Because tools and materials are expensive, he only carves upon request. His next big project is a life-sized human statue. But, he adds, "I have to find a buyer first." www.nnsl.com
