Delightful soapstone sculpture of laughing man holding his pants on with one hand and holding a small wooden club with the other hand. Deftly carved, charming, signed Sak Kunnuk. 15” x 7” x 4.5”. Zacharias Kunuk (Kannuk), “Zack or Sak,” video maker, sculptor (born at Kaupivik, Nunavut, 1957). An internationally acclaimed media maker, Kunuk has played a crucial role in the redefinition of ethnographic filmmaking in Canada and has been at the forefront of the Inuit’s innovative use of broadcast technology. After building a reputation as a soapstone carver, he turned to video in the early 1980s when he bought a small-format camera during a trip to an Inuit art gallery in Montréal.
