Ovilu Tunnillie
Oviloo is the child of two artists, Sheojuk and Toonoo Tunnillie. She grew up traditionally on the land, but like many Inuit of that era, was hospitalized in the south for tuberculosis. Having watched her father carve, she took an early interest in working in stone and sold her first sculpture in She says that she really began to carve when she had children, to earn money to buy milk for them. Her works often deal with her memories of the TB wards and the south, as well as larger social concerns, particularly those that affect women. Oviloo also is one of the few Inuit artists to choose the nude as a subject. After thirty years of exhibiting, she is regarded as the most accomplished female carver of her generation. She was elected to the Royal Canadian Academy in
Excerpt from Cape Dorset Sculpture,
Born on February 11, (Kadlusivik, Nunavut) &#; Died in (Cape Dorset, Nunavut)
Ashevak Tunnillie is the son of Tayaraq and master carver Qavaroak (Kabubuwa) Tunnillie. Ashevak learned to carve by watching his father Qavaroak work. He has an embracing style, but one that is distinct from his father&#;s.
He started sculpting in , at the age of That same year, he moved with his wife and children from Cape Dorset to the outpost camp in Aqiatulaulaulavik.
Carving is a family affair; Sileema, his wife, helps him in his work and his son Pauloosie follows in his father&#;s footsteps. However, after when Ashevak lost his son, the family began moving back and forth to Cape Dorset until they settled there permanently in
Having lived much of his life in a camp, Ashevak has an intimate knowledge of polar bears. He&#;s seen a lot of them and he loves them. Now, when he carves one, he tries to preview it, sometimes for days, before starting his work. These days, because his large bears are so in demand, he carves them almost exclusively. Adept at sculpting in the round, Ashevak uses positive and negative space to give his sculptures an openness of design as well as a strong presence.
