14" Perched Owl by Louie Uttaq Gjoa Haven *Hooty*Inuit art: Owl Inuit Artist: Louie Uttaq Size: 14" high, 6" high, 10" wide Community: Gjoa Haven, NU 21 Stone: Alabaster id: c 121 This Arctic Owl is perched high on a rocky cliff, searching for his next meal. A rabbit, a lemming or maybe a small fox. Hooty isn't fussy, He just wants a full stomach. This is a large piece of realistic art. The flecks of gray in the black stone imitate lichen clinging to the rock. Beautiful. Louie Uttaq is one of Gjoa

His  black nose is slightly bulbous imparting a slight cartoonish demeanour

The artist who can achieve this level of carving is a Master carver

Stone: Italian Marble & Ivory

Not only is he dancing

and has substantial mass to it

This two way Dancing bear is able to dance or stand on either of his feet

It takes skill and experience to fit them into the stone perfectly

I had high esteem for Joamie Ipeelee
