Camille Iquliq
Camille Iquliq (1963–2005) was an Inuit artist.[1][2]
Iquliq lived in Baker Lake, Nunavut[3][4] and began carving in 1984.[2] Other members of Iquliq's family were artists as well. Her father, Tuna (Toona) Iquliq was a carver, as was her mother, Sarah Anautaq Iquliq, who was also known for her drawing and printmaking.[2][3] Her borthers, Louie and Johnny, were also carvers.[2][3]
Iquliq often worked with soapstone, and she frequently depicted rounded figures with a focus on families.[2][3][5] While she focused mostly on human figures,[4][6] she also carved animal figures[7][8] as well as working in wool felt.[9]
Iquliq's work is included in the collections of the Government of Nunavut Fine Art Collection[9] and the Musee national des beaux-arts du Quebec.[1]
Iquliq died in 2005 as a result of cancer.[2]
