Bio: Mary Etok (b. 1943) Mary Etok lives and works in Kangiqsualujjuaq, in the Nunavik region of Northern Quebec. She works in various media, uniting traditional materials, such as fur, embroidery and felt, with her subject matter. Inuit art often focuses on every day subjects and Mary Etok’s work represents people and animals native to the Inuit village where she resides. Etok’s work as a carver was represented in the Arctic Museum’s celebrated exhibition, Spirits of Land, Air, and Water: Antler Carvings from the Robert and Judith Toll Collection” in 2013. Curator Norman Vorano of the Canadian Museum of History in Quebec noted of the work in this exhibition that “Inuit artists are breaking with restrictive conventions of the past and entering into an increasingly globalized, modern world.”
