Already an Elder during his contributions to early graphic arts, Tudlik’s work has been exhibited widely yet remains somewhat mysterious in meaning. Kinngait artists have debated what this print – an unusual image – represents. One source indicates that it was taken from an incised walrus tusk. The image is believed to be either a flayed caribou or seal, however, its use of lines also draws parallels to Inuit string figures.
