Shuvinai rarely offers a personal point of view on social or political conditions in her artwork. But in Oh My Goodness the text that appears in English and Inuktitut refers to the 2011 tsunami in Japan. William Ritchie (b.1954), the studio manager at Kinngait Studios, reminds us: “The tsunami really stuck in her head. The Inuktitut sunamii means ‘what else,’ so she mixes the two with both English and Inuktitut spelling. Joemie [Tapaungai] says on the [large figure’s] chest patch it reads: ‘Look at this, The wave did it, Going back and forth.’ On the kid’s parka pocket pouch it says: ‘Sleep well.’”
