In his essay, which he contributed to the Winnipeg Art Gallery's 1982 exhibition catalogue, Eskimo Point / Arviat, George Swinton described the art style produced in Arviat that we believe captures the intense and rugged sensibility of the present work by Lucy Tasseor. On page 13, Swinton writes, "[The] tradition manifested itself — at least to me — in a very warm, yet also very powerful, expression — sometimes quite raw, and even crude, yet beautifully mellow, in the sense of the guttural but gentle sounds of a Louis Armstrong; or the poetry of William Blake." Swinton continues, "and all of those warm, profoundly earthy forms of art not in 'high' taste, but full of flavour."
