This little carving by Tytoosie Quvianatouliaq, called Heads, only measures 2 x 1.5 x2  inches; so it is quite small.  Especially if you compare it with 
Tutuiya Qatsiya' sculpture listed a few blogs back. Whereas one sculpture seems to speak to the powerful struggle of man to be an individual formed by it's community, this little one seems to make more a spiritual statement. Almost like an amulet to hold, to be protected by good spirits.  It's such a small carving in serpentine stone, yet I counted six profiles of heads emerging out of the stone.       Tytoosie Quvianatouliaq is from Cape Dorset.
