Artist | Timothy Ezekiel |
Nation | Cape Dorset |
Description | Cape Dorset Tim Ezekiel was born in Cape Dorset on August 12th, 1991. He is the son of Tony Curley, an established artist who has been carving for more than thirty years, and the brother of emerging carver Tommy Ezekiel. Tim and his brother began learning to carve from a young age under the guidance of their father. As a result, all three artists have a very similar style. Tony Curley’s work is heavily influenced by Arctic wildlife, particularly birds and bears. These two animals have featured prominently in his work over the years. He carves primarily in serpentine or marble, and strives to capture a feeling in each sculpture he creates. |

Sedna
Oviloo Tunnillie RCA
$10,945.00 CADSerpentine
As goddess of the ocean, Sedna sets strict rules about the proper way to treat the animals of the hunt, which the Inuit require for sustenance. This includes proper treatment of the animals’ spirit when killed for food. If she feels the rules have been broken, she cuts off the supply of food. When this happens, the Inuit tribal shaman is required to take a mystical journey to the bottom of the ocean to speak to the goddess. It is considered the most dangerous journey an Inuit shaman is called upon to make.
Upon arrival at the bottom of the sea the shaman is required to comb Sedna’s hair, because Sedna has no fingers to comb it herself, and to find out what the tribe has done wrong that the food has been cut off. The shaman then makes a deal with Sedna, promising that if the tribe corrects whatever transgressions it has made, the goddess will return their food supply. The shaman then returns to the tribe with the list of things the goddess requires to be done to get the food back.
