Kakulu Saggiaktok Migrating Fish Stonecut Art Canada Baffin Dorset Inuit Culture

About the Item

THIS WILL BE SHIPPED IN TUBE, NO FRAME IS INCLUDED. If you want the frame (35x41) Please inquire before purchase freighting would be required. Artwork 24" x 30" Stonecut (Lithograph-like) on Paper. Pencil signed and marked by artist along bottom. Edition 47/50. Stonecut is an elegant process and Cape Dorset printmakers have refined it to a fine art. The first step is tracing the original drawing and applying it to the smooth surface of the prepared stone. Using india ink, the stonecutter delineates the drawing on the stone and then cuts away the areas that are not to appear in print, leaving the uncut areas raised, or in relief. The raised area is inked using rollers and then a thin sheet of paper - usually fine, handmade Japanese paper - is placed over the inked surface. A protective sheet of tissue is placed over this sheet, and the paper is pressed gently against the stone by hand with a small, padded disc. Only one print can be pulled from each inking of the stone, so the edition takes time and patience and care. KAKULU SAGGIAKTOK ( 1940 - ) Kakulu was born in 1940 on board the Hudson’s Bay Company supply ship, Nascopie. Her family had travelled from south Baffin Island to hunt and trap in the northern regions of the island. Kakulu was a child when she moved back to the Cape Dorset (Kinngait) area. The Dorset people were a culture that lived in Arctic Canada and Greenland for over 3,000 years. Kakulu began to draw in the early 1960’s when the West Baffin Co-operative established its printmaking studios. Many of her images explore the theme of transformation, with animals blending into other animals, humans becoming animals and vice versa. This is a predominant subject in traditional Inuit folklore and Kakulu Saggiaktok mythology, where the natural and supernatural worlds were mediated by the shaman. Kakulu’s work is always imaginative and often playful and charming and much of her inspiration comes from her childhood memories of living on the land.
