The University of Richmond Museums is circulating an exhibition of 40
prints by the Inuit artist Jessie Oonark (1906-1985). The prints are based
on her vibrant drawings and textile designs that feature visual references
to her life and culture in the Arctic. Oonark worked with printmakers in
Baker Lake, Canada, from 1970 to 1985 to produce the stonecut, silkscreen,
and stencil prints included in this exhibition. Organized by the Marsh Art
Gallery, University of Richmond Museums, the exhibition is guest curated by
Canadian
art historian Marie Bouchard, who co-curated with Jean Blodgett the 1986
retrospective of Oonark's work at the Winnipeg Art Gallery. A 72-page color
catalogue with an essay by the curator is available.

The exhibition is currently mid-way on its tour through the United States
and Canada, and dates are available in 2002 and 2003. Please contact
Elizabeth Schlatter (see my info below) if you are interested. Thanks.
