Andy Miki
1918 - 1983
Settlement: Arviate (Eskimo Point)

Andy Miki and his wife, Kahootsuak, lived at Ennadai Lake for many years before moving some two hundred kilometers east to the coastal hamlet of Arviat in 1959. Although Miki ended his years in Arviat, he also lived in Rankin Inlet and Whale Cove for a time. He started carving stone animal figures while still living at Ennadai Lake, finding a market for them among the Qallunaat in the Transport Canada camp there. His animals came from his imagination more than they did from nature; they were not meant to be either realistic or even species specific. Although worked in three dimensions, the figures have a strong linear or outline quality to them, as they usually have minimal depth. Miki has a significant exhibition history, including the important Sculpture/Inuit: Masterworks of the Canadian Arctic exhibition. He is widely represented in public collections and is a favourite among collectors too.
