Enook Manomie (July 24, 1941–December 2, 2006)[1][2] was an Inuk carver.

Early life and education

[edit]

Manomie, who grew up in KinngaitonBaffin Island,[2][3] started carving while in his teens.[2] His father, Manomie Sako,[4] was a well-known carver, and Manomie learned by watching him.[2][3] His brother Towatogua Sagouk also became an artist.[4]

Career

[edit]

Manomie worked with soapstone from Baffin Island quarries.[2] He carved using files, small picks and axes, rasps, and sandpaper.[2] Though he was best known for his sculptures, he also created drawings, prints, and jewelry.[3]

Manomie's work is held in several museums worldwide, including the National Gallery of Canada,[5] the Penn Museum,[6] the McMaster Museum of Art,[7] the University of Michigan Museum of Art,[8] the Winnipeg Art Gallery,[3][9] the University of Lethbridge Art Collection,[10][11] and the Smith College Museum of Art.[12]

In September 2011, CTV News reported that an Enook Manomie sculpture and two Robert Baffa photographs were stolen from a Public Safety Canada building, though the date of the theft was unclear.[13]

Personal life

[edit]

His wife, Suzanne Manomie,[2][14] was from British Columbia and acted as his translator.[2] The couple adopted several Inuit children.[2]
