Northern Rock Susan Gustavison 1999i don't carve in the winter because it would make the house too dusty. In the spring, I am busy drying caribou. So from the beginning of July, I pitch my tent out on the tundra and I ; there to carve until the end of Sept. or Oct.---An Inuit Perspective Marie Bouchard 2000" I like to pitch a tent in summer and carve out on the land. i find that it is better to work when everythign is quiet. When i carve, I do not think of the person who will have the sculpture when it is done. i carve for myself. i look at the stone and think in my mind what i could make. usually I follow the stone's natural form. i often carve the old ways so people can see hwo we lived and hunted. --------------daughter of Jessie Oonark, sister of W Noah, Josiah Nooerlarlik, Mamngushualuk, J Kigusiuq, P Qablunaaq, et al.------------www.elcalondon.comCollectionsAmway Environmental Foundation Collection, Ada, Michigan, U.S.A.
