Working across sculpture, textiles, drawing, printmaking, photography, and digital media, Tarralik Duffy explores identity, memory, and contemporary Inuit life. She blends humour, pop culture, and traditional stories together to create visually engaging and accessible works. Exploring the medium of soft sculpture, Duffy uses her textile skills to produce oversized versions of familiar objects such as soda cans, jerry cans, or canned luncheon meat. Her installations invite the audience to connect with Inuit perspectives in thoughtful and compelling ways.
Tarralik Duffy is an Inuk multidisciplinary artist from Salliq (Coral Harbour), Nunavut, currently based in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. In 2021 she won the Kenojuak Ashevak Memorial Award and in 2025 was shortlisted for the Sobey Art Award. She has exhibited across Canada including at the Winnipeg Art Gallery–Qaumajuq, Remai Modern, the Art Gallery of Ontario, as well as the National Gallery of Canada.
