Pitseolak enjoys carving dancing musk ox, hip hop hares, transformational pieces, dancing bears and drum dancers, woman carrying baby in the amautik or carrying berries, women sewing mitts or kamiks (sealskin boots) and exploring modern themes like his Teen with MP3 player.  Pits examines the stone to decide what to make.  His preference is to make medium to small size pieces.  Pitseolak is dedicated to his art and is willing to take risks and be an innovator.
