kwayask ê-pimohtêyân (I Walk The Line)

Acrylic, charcoal, gesso, 1970’s Western Novels and tobacco ads, alcohol packaging, apple boxes, on cardboard. Approximately 10’x4’. 2019.


During the Collider artist-in-residency at Contemporary Calgary, I created a large scale collage which stretched wall to wall of my studio. I touched on themes of intuitive art-making, with my own relationship to Indigenous diaspora, and the intrinsic danger of living in Alberta as a Two-spirit, transmasculine person. Scavenged materials such as problematic Western novels, tobacco ads, alcohol packaging, and apple boxes are rearranged, scratched out, and mounted onto the studio wall.
