Igloolik
Igloolik sculpture has much in common stylistically with that of Pangnirtung in terms of scale, subject matter and aesthetics. The drama of the hunt and the emotional intensity of mythological subjects are depicted in large, strongly realistic works. Igloolik stone is mostly dull; naturalistic details are vigorously carved by not polished. Light green is also imported from the Mary River deposits on Baffin Island.
The nearby community of Hall Beach produces stone sculptures which often resemble the powerful sculptures of Igloolik, but sometimes the soft-edged carvings of Clyde River and Pond Inlet.
