Andy Miki

Andy Miki was a carver from Arviat, NU who was known for his abstract and simplified sculptures. Miki created minimal, small-scale sculptures and distinguished himself from his peers in Arviat by depicting animals rather than the more commonly depicted human figures. His favoured subjects were bears, caribou, birds and dogs. Miki drew his inspiration from personal observations of Arctic wildlife rather than from Inuit oral traditions or creatures of his own imagination.
