ALASI AUDLA TULLAUGAK (1935-)
Note:
“The preparation of skins for use in articles of clothing, shelter or transportation was women’s work. One method of stretching and drying sealskin was to attach the folded skin to a frame. Audla combines the form of the frame with the head and arms of a woman to create a highly symbolic image.”
