Women Speak of Spring Fishing

Kenojuak Ashevak is an Internationally acclaimed Inuit artist, widely known for her prints and drawings. Originally from South Baffin Island in arctic Quebec, she moved to Cape Dorset in 1966 where she worked with the Dorset Fine Arts Print Cooperative to display her works and develop her drawings into prints. Her strong graphic imagery was inspired by her father, a respected shaman, as well as traditional Inuit designs. This lithograph depicts a gathering of five anthropomorphic women, four of whom are part fish and one of whom is a composite seagull figure.
