Virtual Artist Talk: Erin Ggaadimits Ivalu Gingrich

Erin Ggaadimits Ivalu Gingrich (Nome Eskimo Community, culturally affiliated Koyukon Denaa & Iñupiaq) discusses her sculpture Spawning Iqalukpik Double from Tustumena Lake and her art-making practices.

She is a carver and interdisciplinary artist working and subsisting on the Dena’ina homelands in Southcentral Alaska.

Through carved, painted, and beaded sculpture and mask- and lens-based forms, Ivalu creates representations of the revered wild relatives that have provided for her, her family, and her ancestors since time immemorial.

One of four talks held in conjunction with the exhibition Indigenous Identities: Here, Now & Always.
