Speaking with artist/activist/mentor/radical/visionary/owner/director Jim Shirley about the history, and future, of Matchbox Gallery.

The ceramics of Matchbox studios. Collaborative, smoke-fired, Inuit-made.

Towards sundown, 3:30pm

Marnie walking towards Matchbox Gallery in the 1pm sun.

Walking over to the town Inuksuk, keeping watch above the village.

Never experienced such cold, anywhere else in my Arctic (or Winnipeg) travels. Life threatening.

Flew to Rankin Inlet for three days in January 2016 with Marnie Schreiber. We went to meet Matchbox Gallery directors Jim and Sue Shirley, and three local Inuit ceramic artists who have worked with them. Population 2600, Rankin is located on the western shore of Hudson’s Bay, and is the second largest town in Nunavut after Iqaluit. The village and airstrip can just be seen in this photo.
