Nunavut-ᐃᓄᒃᑎᑐᑦ

The fairy worker making a ladder to the moon and mare of the sea fairy queen rings across the Highlands that I am Clan Morrison. Colored chalk from pastels and cardboard paintings declare me an artist. Nunavut itself is an artwork. ᓄᓇᕗᒼ is the newest territory. ᐃᓄᒃᑎᑐᑦ (Inuktitut) is the language of the native Inuit of the territory which used a separate alphabet. My name is ᒪᑑ. The sad thing is everything is overpriced as in four dollars for a candy bar, I always find ladders unstable.

Its mythology is similar to western mythology. Inukpasugjuit may be Bigfoot. Ijirait or Tarriaksuit appear like a Scottish fairy. Far behind everything is  Mount Pelly which is said to be three giants who froze to death. Everything is on a Thule sod house in the Qaummaarviit Historic Park. The handle with the marine mammals is the Mace of the Legislative Assembly of Nunavut and is made on a Narwhal tusk. The tube hut is for  Pond Inlet /ᒥᑦᑎᒪᑕᓕᒃ . The boat is  Our Lady of Lourdes in Tuktoyaktuk.  The boot is a Baffinland Inuit Boot. It is 9” x 12,” drawn with pencil and white charcoal and completed recently.

The name of this piece is Hillcountry Waterfall, is 5”x7” and drawn with pastel on cardboard recently.One of the things about Texas is raftin’ in the Hill Country of central Texas. The scenery is prettier from that view.  If you are interested in buying this or any other of my work email me at MatthewMorrison76@gmail.com to order.
