HAWK
KENOJUAK ASHEVAK (1927-2013), E7-1035, CAPE DORSET
HAWK
stone, c. 1970
14.5" x 14" x 7.75" — 36.8 x 35.6 x 19.7 cm.
Note:
Kenojuak approached her carvings differently than she did her drawings. A piece of stone may provide inspiration whereas a blank piece of paper does not. She likened carving from stone to chipping away at a problem, the more she carved away the stone the closer she would get to the solution. The subjects of her sculptures were generally similar to her drawings.
Estimate: $4,000—6,000
