Maternal love is one of humanity's most cherished themes.
Classically, humanity relies on the devotion, sacrifice and love of a mother.
This is not to say that fathers do not provide nurturing, but statistically, mothers take on this role.
CHEEK TO CHEEK is a heart warming portrait of an Inuit woman and her child.
Like most women, this Inuk mother is going about her family duties and caring for her child at the same time.
True multi-tasking.
The Inuit mother is carrying her baby in an oversized parka called an Amauti which has a hood which allows the baby to be carried in a pocket, while leaving the mother's hands free.
The Mother's mouth is wide open.
Is she talking to the baby or perhaps singing a lullaby to him.
Our Inuit mother is sturdy and solid in stature and she is carrying a pail and a utensil which suggests she may be preparing a meal.
Manasie has captured a brief moment in the day of a life of a mother.
The black stone gleams and reflects every soft line of this enchanting sculpture.
We need these incredible Inuit artists whose lifetime is devoted to depicting Inuit life and ultimately recording the history of the Far North and its people.
This sculpture is a Masterpiece that would be a cherished gift.
