Working with the hard local stone, Tasseor developed a minimalist style that focused on simplified, block-like forms. Her sculptures typically feature clusters of faces emerging from a single piece of stone, symbolizing unity, kinship, and collective strength. While her work is minimalist, it carries a deep emotional resonance, evoking themes of connection and resilience within Inuit life. Upon first glance, many Tasseor sculptures appear almost entirely abstract but on closer inspection a surprising amount of visual information reveals itself to the viewer.Provenance
