son of Martha Noonilik, brother of Basil Tatunak and Paul Toolooktook and Thomas Siuraq (adoption) ------- Northern Rock, Susan Gustavison 1999 When I was a boy, we carved lanterns---not for art, but to use. my father wanted me to be a shaman like him, but I refused because shamans have a short life...Because we try to live like people in the South we sell all our carvings and print work. But we Inuks must remember that these carvings ---the arts--- are a vehicle to keep our ancestral stories alive. -------------- Inuit Artists Print Workbook Tookoome is an imaginative and prolific artist, who usually prints his own images and occasionally those of others. In more recent years his interest in carving has been rekindled and these sculptures, not surprisingly, have similarities to his fanciful drawings. half-brother of Jessie Oonark ------ Tookoomee, Simon - Baker Lake, NU Simon was born and raised in Back river and has been carving since the late 1960's. A self-taught sculptor, Simon carves stone and antler and also makes drawings and prints. He was a founding member of the Baker Lake printshop. Simon hopes his work will stand as a record of his memories of life on the land to the younger generation and to other cultures. Simon's work has been exhibited in Canada, the United States and Europe. He attended the first ever Great Northern Arts Festival and we welcome him again, as an honoured guest. ------- Simon Tookoome (b. 1934) Simon Tookoome was born in 1934 at Chantrey Inlet. He grew up learning the traditional lifestyle and beliefs of the Utkusiksalingmiut, a mainly inland group of Inuit who occupied the territory along the Back River. He also spent time in Gjoa Haven on King William Island to the north, where he was exposed to the coastal culture of the Netsilik. Like most Utkusiksalingmiut, he moved south to the community of Baker Lake in the late sixties when severe game shortages threatened the people's survival. Following the arrival there of Jack and Sheila Butler as arts advisors in 1969, Tookoome took up drawing and stone carving on a full-time basis, becoming in time one of Baker Lake's most prominent artists. As an active founding member of the Sanavik Co-op, he also cut and printed many images, including some based on his own drawings. Between 1971 and 1990 a total of 58 of his images were published as prints and included in Baker Lake's annual collections. Admired widely for his recognizable and highly expressive style, and sometimes criticized for repetitiousness, Tookoome is a knowledgeable and strong defender of Inuit traditions, both spiritual and material. Tookoome's two-dimensional works often combine a dynamic expressionist approach with a more controlled repetitive-decorative one, and usually unite human and animal subjects in the same image. In some works, hooded human profiles are contained within the bodily contours of a single wolf or dog. In others, large human heads sprout striped arm-like extensions that end in the smaller heads of caribou, wolves, musk oxen and other people. While such images may appear to suggest shaman-like transformations, Peter Millard notes that Tookoome's pictures are most often intended as visualizations of people's inner thoughts. In Tookoome's own words, "a face with images of animals on its cheeks means that the person is thinking of that species of animal, sort of like having a vision or a daydream of animals." Repetition, multiplication and instances of a nearly mirror-like symmetry are important elements in most prints and drawings, many of which feature rows of heads, some in pairs facing one another. Figure-ground relationships also play an significant role: in some images the grounds are divided into areas of solid colour, and in others the grounds are rendered as vibrating patterns of colourful light and dark contrasts. Tookoome's stone sculptures, while generally less complex than his drawn images, usually resemble the latter in most important respects, and often consist of human faces and/or animal forms stacked like totems. Many sculptures similarly incorporate negative spaces that function not unlike expressive two-dimensional grounds, a striking contrast to the massive volumes that characterize most Baker Lake sculpture.
