Winner of the 2006 Sobey Art Award
Presented by the Prairie Art Gallery
Opening Reception: 7 - 11 pm on February, 6, 2009 at the Kin Gallery
“Pootoogook’s work challenges conventional assumptions made of Inuit art and her drawings of domestic interiors and modern outpost camps reflect the disparate social, economic and physical realities of today’s Canadian North. Many of her images are disturbing; addressing issues such as alcoholism, domestic violence, suicide, depression and drug addiction.”
