3" Walking Bear by Clayton Keknek Gjoa Haven *Calling for Mom* Inuit print Canadian Museum of CivilizationInuit art: Polar Bear Inuit Artist: Clayton Keknek Size: 3" wide, 2. 5" tall Community: Gjoa Haven, NU Stone: Serpentinite id: c 062 Keknek's quirky walking bear is calling to its mother. This little fellow is sturdy. He is carved from the dark stone common to Gjoa Haven. Its has the feel of a Lego piece; angular, precise and small. This style gives it a more avant garde look which fits in with the unique Gjoa Haven esthetic of humour and innovation.
