Description:

International Formation: Two Canadians, one American & one German Fly the Arctic, Elisapee Ishulutaq's print of airplanes, had the background or negative space printed at New Leaf, but the aircraft were done at Uqqurmiut. For the background, Peter Braune created a collagraph plate (handmade using textures) to retain the colour, character, and integrity of Elisapee's sky and printed it, using an intaglio technique (printing the portions below the surface of the plate) and several inks of varying viscosity, at New Leaf. The airplanes were stencil-printed by Jolly Atagoyuk, a longtime printmaker at Uqqurmiut.

Elisapee Ishulutaq's print entitled Happy Warriors came about as a result of her decorating a combat helmet to use in the Patriot Love fundraiser for injured Canadian troops and their families. Her delightful and colourful images of warriors lent themselves ideally to a horizontal print format. New Leaf etched the plates using a technique called spit bite, in which acid is mixed with gum Arabic and applied directly onto the plate to achieve a more spontaneous result.

The prints were then printed in color using the French technique à la poupée, in which colored ink is applied directly to a plate's surface and worked into the appropriate area of the design using cotton daubs called dollies, or in French, poupées.
