Lauren Jacobson Lauren Jacobson is a multi-disciplinary sculptor based in Calgary, Alberta (Treaty 7 Territory). Their work examines the way objects direct, suggest, and force the orientations of our bodies in public space. Primarily using systems of casting and molding, Lauren investigates both the physical and symbolic properties of “things” in order to preserve the form of an object while subverting its material composition. This method, which undermines the dominant function of objects, becomes a means to interrupt systems of authority, obedience, and control. Dimensions: 12x15 Mohawk Via Vellum Cover #80 Pure White

Morgan Black Morgan Black is a Ts’kw’aylaxw First Nations and Secwépemc multi-disciplinary artist and curator residing on Treaty 7 territory and Metis Region 3. Their practice includes exploring Indigenous identity through relationship to materials, sustainability, the senses, time and place, while drawing inspiration from the land. Their curatorial practice involves approaching the role from a decolonial lens that empowers diverse and marginalized artists to take up space in the contemporary fine arts world. Their methodology privileges visibility, representation, and respect that honors artists and their visions. My practice as of late has involved research into the histories and legends of my cultures. Traditional storytelling practices or sptakwlh have been the focus of my research and it has been a joyful and challenging process acquainting myself with them. The stories are meant to be shared in the wintertime, after dark, and as we have seen the frost making its way across the landscape, I have been warmed by the knowledge of my ancestors. As I absorb the meanings, peculiarities, mysteries, and humorous moments found in these tales, I create my own interpretations through my creative processes. Painting, printmaking, sculpture, and installation works are just a few ways I have been exploring the worlds of these stories and creating connections between the histories of my ancestors, my present self, and future generations. My hope is to introduce others to the silly, fantastical, yet educational storytelling of my people. Dimensions: 11x17 Mohawk Via Vellum Cover #80 Pure White
