Lucy Tasseor Tutsweetok (1934–2012) was a celebrated carver from Nunalla, MB, who eventually made Arviat, NU, her home and artistic community. Though growing up with her grandparents, who greatly influenced her art practice, Tutsweetok did not begin carving until she moved to Arviat in the 1960s. Tutsweetok’s works range in size from the length of a thumb to larger boulders, emphasizing the natural shape of the stone while leaving large sections uncarved. Tutsweetok’s semi-abstract sculptures depict familial or maternal groups and record the experiences of Inuit for future generations. She has been featured on the cover of Inuit Art Quarterly, and her work is held in several major institutions, including at the Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto, the Canadian Museum of History in Gatineau, QC, and the Inuit Cultural Institute in Rankin Inlet, NV.
