Artist Statement / Bio
Anishinabekwe from Northwestern Ontario. Spent a lot of years living and working out of
Toronto. Have only recently arrived to try my luck in Vancouver.
As a performance artist I've had the opportunity to work in a variety of situations. My
favourites are of course those pieces that stick with me. I remember what worked and do
my best to forget what went wrong. Over the years my work has shifted from doing what I
thought was necessary to appreciating the fact that I have two good hands that can help me
to make physical my thoughts.
