Tarralik Duffy on Gasoline Rainbows

February 25, 2024

Tarralik Duffy talks about her show Gasoline Rainbows at the WAG-Qaumajuq with columnist Jen Zoratti with the Free Press. The exhibition, which is a result of her four-week residency with WAG-Qaumajuq, features her leather-sewn jerry cans and images inspired by the food labels of her childhood. Duffy relates her pieces to the harmful plastic packaging of today, explaining how “Everything that we had as Inuit in the past would just go back to the earth. And then these things have a permanence that is dangerous.” Gasoline Rainbows grapples with the ideas of packaging, commercialism, and waste.
