“Faces Everyday”
Kaajuk Kablalik
Brass, Copper, and Steel wire
6” x 4”
2009
This sculpture was inspired by skin frames that are used in my culture to dry seal skins. The faces of the sculpture symbolize the way we feel everyday. The cross cut-out behind the frowning face symbolizes hope and the Inukshuk cut-out behind the smiling face symbolizes contentment.(unseen in photos) The frame was inspired by the gothic era from the darkness and sharp points of the frame to the steel wire that is twisted to look like rope that connects all the pieces in a gothic manner.
