Jacoposie Oopakak Inuk 1948-2015 --- Nunali c.1988-89
An entire world view is contained within the gracefully arcing forms of this set of antlers. Antler is a fairly common medium in Inuit art, but the inclusion of a full pair is a rarity. Oopakak demonstrated extraordinary technical skill in his ability to carve figures in this delicate material. His training jewellery making comes into play in the precise and delicate details.
