Inukjuak

The sculpture of Inukjuak (formerly Port Harrison; Inoucdjouac) is strongly realistic, rather calm and somewhat static. Volumes tend to be broad and rounded, and there are few negative spaces carved from the stone. Domestic scenes, especially charming vignettes of mothers and children, and hunting images, are favourite subjects. 

Also popular are birds, fish, bears and other animals, naturalistically carved and incised. Mythological imagery is rare. Most early pieces were carved in a rich green mottled stone that is still being quarried today. Carvings in grey stone, often darkened and incised, are also common.
