The sculpture of Gjoa Haven was to a certain extent influenced by the Taloyoak style. There is a similar tendency toward distortion and expressionism in human and spirit faces and bodies, also an interest in combining the different media of stone, whalebone, ivory and musk-ox horn. Today, however, it is Gjoa Haven artists who stylistically dominate the art of the Central Arctic. 

For some time, Gjoa Haven sculptors worked with an imported green stone but they now carve in the harder dark green and black stone found some distance away.
