About

Jessye Wdowin-McGregor is an artist whose practice spans video, performance, photography, drawing, and collage. A relationship to place and nature underpins much of her work, and she is inspired by environments that are sometimes at the periphery of attention, particularly within the urban realm. She is interested in our entanglements with other species, the thresholds between body and landscape, the human impact on the natural world, and the elemental infrastructures that shape our surroundings. Her practice includes both her own imaging of place as well as the use of found imagery, allowing for the incorporation of personal, archival, and material memory in her work. Aspects of surrealism, mythology and symbolism are threaded throughout her projects.   

The artist acknowledges the Kulin Nations as the sovereign custodians of the land where she lives, works, and makes. She pays respects to their Elders, past and present, and to all First Nations people.
