Inuit art

Recently I have taken an interest in Inuit art. They are most famous for their stone carvings and prints.
I feel they encapsulate the beauty of the nature surrounding them in the arctic wilderness and the little moments of everyday life.

Their preferred medium is soapstone as it is soft and easy to carve much like walrus tusk which they used historically. 

There is The Narwhal Gallery in London, it is the only British gallery dedicated to Inuit art.
