Sisaulik

Featured in: Sovereign Matriarchs

Collection by:

Sisaulik honours the skills passed down by the designer’s Aana (grandma) and the values carried in her community. The Inupiaq people live a subsistence lifestyle in Sisaulik in reciprocation for the land. It is a sacred place to the designer’s family. The Sisaulik collection illustrates the connection to the land through the celebration of Taqalakisaq (butterflies) and transformation using traditional and contemporary Inupiaq pattern designs and materials in this feminine and functional collection.
