Overview

Stones, Bones and Stitches offers a compact, illustrated introduction to Inuit art and the stories behind it. Curators Shelley Falconer and Shawna White highlight works from the McMichael Canadian Art Collection to trace the North's changing artistic landscape.

The book focuses on eight representative pieces — from carved stone to print — and pairs images with concise artist biographies, material notes and regional histories. Readers gain context on community life, working practices and cultural traditions that shape the art.

Photographs and bite-sized facts illuminate techniques (for example, seasonal quarrying and studio work) and cultural markers such as Inukshuks and local legends, making this a clear entry point for anyone interested in Indigenous and Canadian art.
