Pudlo Pudlat, Journey into Fantasy, 50/50, 1983
A classic print by Pudlo, combining themes from traditional life and modern technology in a fantasy world. Pudlo's prints frequently incorporated airplanes and other non-traditional images. They also frequently played with the scale of the images, juxtaposing, for example, small boats and oversize loons. Here, the airplane is loaded onto a komatik (sled), which is being pulled by another airplane. The other komatiks contain umiaks, and appear to be pulled by seals harnessed to the komatiks. All of this stonecut detail occurs in a fantasy landscape, with a stenciled image of colored mountains.
