Annie Pootoogook : cutting ice = Ini Putugu : tukisitittisimavuq takusinnggittunik / Nancy Campbell.
"The life and death of Annie Pootoogook (1969-2016) became a national story when her body was recovered from the Rideau River in Ottawa in September 2016. The complexities of her short 47 years speak to both possibility and heartbreak, issues of truth and reconciliation, the richness of community, and the depths of tragedy. Her arresting pencil crayon drawings recording the details of her life have had a significant impact on both the contemporary art of her Inuit community and Canada at large. Her drawings and her legacy, depict a community in transition; one that respects its past and is negotiating its future."-- Provided by publisher.
