Annie Pootoogook (1969 - )

3. MEMORY OF MY FAMILY: TEA IN THE TENT
2001/02, Pencil, Ink, Pencil Crayon, 17.25 x 26"

Annie recreates a childhood memory of her mother Napatchie, her father Eegyvudluk Pootoogook and one of her brothers on the land in the 1970s. Annie shows an interior and exterior view simultaneously; we see the rocks that hold down the canvas edges of the summer tent as well as the domestic scene that unfolds inside.
