Canadian Inuit Sculpture - Indian and Northern Affairs Canada <br>
Cape Dorset is probably the most famous art producing community in Canada's north....The Cape Dorset sculptural style is rooted in a love of naturalism and an interest in both wildlife and the spirit world, but has incorporated a love of the flamboyant, the dramatic and the decorative. Sculptures exhibit a strongly stylized or elegant naturalism, and are generally highly finished. <br>
Although the generic term soapstone is commonly used, this is a bit misleading. Soapstone, a soft talc steatite, is not used nearly as much as the harder serpentine, serpentinite, siltstone, argillite, dolomite, quartz and other types. <br>
Materials are often in short supply, and artists must travel great distances overland or by boat to quarry quantities of good quality stone. <p>
