Blanket (Textile)

Arctic Ravens is an original Kenojuak Ashevak Pendleton limited edition blanket, produced with the consent and approval of the artist and the West Baffin Co-operative. The design came from a merging of two of her original drawings from her solo exhibition at the Spirit Wrestler Gallery in 2002. The drawing, Mirrored Ravens, provided the central raven images, and the Loomed Birds drawing was used for the border, which she had designed specifically for the first blanket project. The colors selected are both faithful to the original drawings and are also her personal favorites from her diverse palette.
