- Summary
- "In Carving Life, Eleanor M. Imperato presents her personal journey into a world of the Alaska Inuit. During her serveral trips to Alaska, she visited cities, coastal communities, and remote villages. The title of this catalog, Carving Life, and the exhibition that accompanies it, is a sensitive metaphor for the traditional life of the Yupik and Inupiat communities and the contemporary carvings that commemorate it"--Page 10.
