Karoo Ashevak, a master artist, revolutionized sculpting in the Kitikmeot Region through his innovative use of whalebone, inlay and transformative figures; Spirits showcases all of these notable elements. This piece also holds a special place in the museum’s institutional history, having been selected as the official avatar for all official publication streams. Something that might not be evident at first glance is the fact that the back of this piece is also sculpted. Adopt this staff favourite and you’ll have the opportunity to see a whole new side to this piece!
