Kinngait (Cape Dorset)
Antler, Stone
4.5” x 8" x 3”

This sculpture is a tribute to the artist's great grandmother, renowned graphic artist Pitseolak Ashoona.  On her way to the studio to sell her drawings, Pitseolak would often sit and rest on a rock bench.  In 2021 Kuzy was commissioned to make a full size carving of this image for the community of Kinngait.  It sits outside the airport in Kinngait (Cape Dorset).
