Janet Nungnik: The Eagle’s Shadow

The Marion Scott Gallery is pleased to present a major exhibition of works by Baker Lake’s Janet Nungnik. Janet Nungnik: The Eagle’s Shadow will comprise 15 colourful textile works produced over a period of 17 years. Collectively, Nungnik’s delicately embroidered and appliqued images tell her life story and that of her people, the Padlermiut, a small group of inland dwelling Inuit whose traditional territory was based to the south of Baker Lake, Nunavut. The exhibition includes the title work, a monumentally scaled wallhanging inspired by the artist’s childhood memory of close family members.
