Born: 1954 - Deceased Male E7-1329
Resides: Cape Dorset
Sculpture

" I was born near the famous Cape Dorset stone quarry (Kangitukutaq), in
a camp called Kalusiqviq. Five years later we moved closer to Dorset into
Akiatulaulaviq camp. In 1962 or 1963 my father had to go to a southern
hospital and I have been living in Dorset ever since. My parents were Peter
Aningmiuq and Alasua, both have passed away. I remember my father doing a few
carvings and my mother doing a few drawings. My two oldest brothers are also
carvers.


I support my family of four children (aged three to seventeen) solely by
carving. My first carving at age twelve was a seal. Nowadays I work more
with human figures, though my favourite subjects are still animals. I like
working in the Kangitukutaq stone best, and have done a few marble pieces. I
start with a power tool, and always finish with manual tools to have a better
polished piece. More and more I work now by demand rather than by choice. "
