Settlement: Baker Lake / Qamani’tuaq
(1931) — W1-225
Annie Taipanak (Baker Lake, Nunavut) This artist has been producing unique fabric wallhangings since the early 1970s. Using appliqué and open-stitch embroidery techniques, her complex imagery depicts Inuit stories of human and animal activities on the land. Untitled (Life on the Land) of 2004 is designed as a series of vignettes where daily life is interwoven with the supernatural. Her works on cloth have been included in exhibitions on Baker Lake fabric works and are in gallery collections.
