Marjorie Aguluvak

Settlement: Baker Lake / Qamani’tuaq

(1941-2010) — E2-84

Alternative Names: Agluvak Agluvak, Marjorie Agluvak, Aglowak Agluvak, Aqigaaq Agluvak, Marjory Agluvak

Marjorie Aguluvak is well known for her wallhangings. The traditonal sewing skills she uses to make and decorate clothing for her family are skills that translate well in the art of wallhanging. She often depicts whimsical animals and spirits in her work. Marjorie's work has been exhibited in Canada, the United States and in Europe. Her husband, Mathew Aqigaaq, is a well-known sculptor. Her mother-in-law, the late Martha Ittuluka'naaq, was also a Baker Lake artist.
