My First Bike

Pitseolak is inspired by objects from many sources, past and present. He is one of a group of emerging artists seeking to make art relevant to their experiences in the modern-day Arctic. With complete working parts, this "Raleigh Chopper" has been personalized by the addition of traditional "iggaak" (snow goggles). For the artist, the bike is a symbol of his childhood in Cape Dorset.
