8" Loon by Ning Ashoona *Wistful* CURATOR'S CHOICE paintings Spirit of the BirdsInuit art: Loon Inuit Artist: Ningeosiak Ashoona Size: 7. 5" high, 4" wide Community: Cape Dorset, NU 10 22 Stone: Serpentine id: dfa 7397Pacjjy CURATOR'S CHOICE The intense emotions Wistful evokes make her a CURATOR'S CHOICE. Few carvings have this power. Contemplative. Serene. Wistful is the most poignant Ning Ashoona piece that I have ever seen. I want this Loon in my collection. I want to be able to "feel" Wistful's spirit every day. Collectors
