Pudlalik Shaa(Inuit, b. 1965)
(1965- )of Cape Dorset
Cape Dorset, Nunavut Territory, Canada
(1965- )
Pudlalik is one of the sons of noted sculptor Aqjangajuk Shaa. Pudlalik made his first carving when he was twelve and has been carving ever since. He learned by watching the generation of carvers who, like his father, used axes to work on their pieces. Pudlalik still uses an axe on occasion, though he also uses more modern tools. He has incorporated elements of the dynamic fluid line of his father’s work into his own sculptures.
