Birds (1969)
Through intricately detailed car ving and a touch of imagination, Sabina Qunqnirq Anait tuq creates a cozy scene of four lit tle white owls gathered together in her piece, Birds. With their adorable tininess, the ivor y birds beg for a closer look to appreciate their smooth and rounded bodies and per fectly placed eyes and beaks. Upon closer inspection, the rock y cliff they appear to be perched on reveals itself as a piece of caribou jawbone, speaking to Annait tuq’s beautiful use of natural materials. This scene encapsulates the daily behaviours of birds per fectly, each one craning their necks in a dif ferent direction, perhaps in response to a nearby predator or maybe looking for the nex t tast y meal. Whatever they may be up to, they sure are a delight to watch.
