Lucy Tasseor Tutsweetok (1934–2012) was an Inuk artist renowned for her sculptures, primarily crafted from grey steatite, a stone native to Arviat, Nunavut. After moving to Arviat in 1962 following the closure of the North Rankin Nickel Mine, Tasseor Tutsweetok’s work focused on maternal and family themes, often portrayed through minimalist, semi-abstract forms. She embraced the natural characteristics of the stone, leaving its surface unpolished to retain its original essence. Her work has been featured in significant exhibitions such as Sculpture/Inuit: Masterworks of the Canadian Arctic and In the Shadow of the Sun: Contemporary Indian and Inuit Art in Canada. In 1992, she completed a large sculpture for the Canadian Museum of Civilization. Tasseor Tutsweetok's approach to carving and her calculated drawings upon the stone’s surface resonate with her contemporaries Andy Miki, John Panaruk, and Elizabeth Nutaluk. Her legacy continues to influence Inuit art, and her first solo exhibition was held at the Art Gallery of Ontario in 2011.
