Gjoa Haven Transformations like
PERKY are so unique in their
Grotesque style, that you
know immediately upon seeing the carving that it can
ONLY be from Gjoa Haven!
These comical and quirky carvings
encourage us to look at our world from a different point of view.
What is this carving?
Do all carvings have a head, a body, arms and legs?
Must they?
Keknek's genius is his ability to motivate us to not just SEE, but to INTERPRET the carving.
Perky's stone is a matte black kissed with deposits of copper and light green colour.
He has the classic large white inlaid eyes and body parts that are part fish and part human?
You will not see anything like these
delightful carvings except in Gjoa Haven.
