Eye of the Shaman
The Visions of Piona Keyuakjuk
David Turner
In Eye of the Shaman, author and anthropologist David Turner introduces readers to Inuit artist and visionary Piona Keyuakjuk. Over the course of a series of visits to Pangnirtung, a small town located on Baffin Island
in the territory of Nunavut, Turner came to know this remarkable individual, gaining deep insight into his life and art. Eye of the Shaman includes dozens of colour illustrations, including numerous photographs
