JACO ISHULUTAQ (ESHULUTAK; EESHUGLUTAK; ESULUKTAK) Born: Place of Birth: Pangnirtung Resides: Pangnirtung Sculpture, Tapestries Jaco Ishulutaq started carving at the age of sixteen. He learned by watching his grandfather and has since enjoyed making medium-sized sculptures from antler, ivory, whalebone and, more particularly, stone. His favourite subjects include people, birds and other animals. Jaco also enjoys drawing and jewellery-making, but no longer works in the former medium because it is not as lucrative as sculpting. When making jewellery Jaco prefers using soapstone to ivory for personal reasons. Several members of Jaco's family are involved in the arts. His mother, Elisapee, brother Lazalusie, and sisters Rosie and Jessie are all active artists in Pangnirtung and Iqaluit.
