Born in 1985, Nunavut
Johnny Manning began sculpting when he was about 14 years old. He learned to sculpt by watching the famous Nujaliaq Qimirpik. Each of Manning’s sculptures start from an idea or a concept, as the artists likes to challenge himself by creating unique
pieces and compositions. However, he also carves traditional subjects, such as drum dancers, Inuit games, throat singers and even hunting scenes using
a combination of power tools and traditional hand tools.
