Itee Pootoogook

"Pootoogook articulates how the here-and-now plays across the eternal, the present moment against geological time. Where traces of the old ways remain, they are frankly juxtaposed with the contemporary: fish drying on a line mounted on the exterior of a prefab house with burgundy siding; the spine of a bowhead whale lying in the snow alongside the ladderlike track of a Ski-Doo." -- Robin Laurence
