In 1959 the West Baffin Eskimo Co-operative in Kinngait turned Inuit drawing into a print tradition. A drawing goes onto a flat stone block, the negative areas are cut away, ink is rolled across the raised face, and a sheet of Japanese kozo is burnished by hand until the image lifts.

Kenojuak Ashevak's *The Enchanted Owl* (1960) set the terms: one transformed creature filling the sheet, flat unmodulated ink, no horizon, no ground. The untouched warm paper does the rest. This system builds interfaces the same way — two or three inks, one strong shape, and a great deal of empty sheet.
