Sarah Nastapoka soapstone carving. Dated 1973 and titled "Face Encircled by Hood". Measures 11.25" x 9". Sarah Nastapoka was born in 1925 and is considered one of Canada's most outstanding Inuit artists. Nastapoka worked on her husband’s carvings, as well as her own. She could not spell her name and, at her request, her husband Abraham often signed his name on her sculptures. In 1974, Nastapoka and her son set up a place to carve near the Inukjuak River. She traveled by dog team to quarry her own soapstone, which was located about 50 miles away in a place called Sungauyak, which means “beautiful stone” (Wight 2006:75). In an unpublished interview with Inuit Art Foundation staff in 2009, she said that she can no longer carve since her “hands do not work anymore.”
