Bogen er udgivet på grønlandsk og engelsk og indeholder dragende fortællinger og fotografier af Kims kunstværker. Bogen er skrevet af Kims kone, Katsi Kleist-Eriksen, en velkendt grønlandsk sangerinde, som deler personlige historier og digte som beundring, kærlighed og til hyldest for sin mand.
I sin første bogudgivelse reflekterer Katsi Kleist-Eriksen: ”Jeg ville dele ham med resten af verdenen, da folk skal vide hvor vidunderlig han er; ikke kun som kunstner, men også som person. Hans værker fremkalder noget helt specielt hos dem der ser og oplever dem. Med Eriagisaq (som betyder: noget man nødigt vil miste) får man mulighed for at se Kims fantastiske kunstværker med egne øjne.
The new publishing house SIKU PUBLISHING is pleased to share its first publication: Eriagisaq.
This book presents and introduces the talented Inuk carver, Kim Kleist-Eriksen and his renowned pieces. Each page of Eriagisaq which is written in Greenlandic and English is filled with enchanting tales and photographs of Kim’s coveted artwork. Authoring Eriagisaq is Kim’s wife, Katsi Kleist-Eriksen, celebrated artist who, intimately shares private stories and short poems as a tribute to her admiration and love for her husband.
On the release of her first book, Katsi Kleist-Eriksen reflects, “I wanted to share him with the rest of the world and for people to know how amazing he truly is; not only as a carver but as a person. His pieces tend to evoke something within the spirit of whoever sees them. Eriagisaq gives anyone an opportunity to see with their own eyes his creations and awaken the spirit inside of them.”
