Janet Nungnik

2019, HD, 6 minutes 34 seconds

Created for the exhibition Janet Nungnik: The Eagle’s Shadow, March 30-April 27, 2019 at Marion Scott Gallery in Vancouver BC Canada.

It was a major exhibition of 15 colourful textile works produced over a period of 17 years. Collectively, Nungnik’s delicately embroidered and appliqued images tell her life story and that of her people, the Padlermiut, a small group of inland dwelling Inuit whose traditional territory was based to the south of Baker Lake, Nunavut. This video gives insight on specific works and Nungnik's process.
