Artist in Residence: Scott Stephens
9th July - 17th August
Scott Stephens is an Anishinabe originally from Lac Seul First Nations in Northern Ontario, and calls Winnipeg/Toronto home.
“My work addresses a search for identity and an exploration and clarification of my personal cosmology. This often involves looking at the impact of relationships and familial/communal ties, non-conventional ways of knowing (ie. dreaming, intuition, blood memory), cultural crisis and underlying threats and danger inherent in searching for personal truth. I am always working on multiple projects and constantly seeking out new ways to more accurately reflect my realities through exploration of new medias and production techniques.”
Scott enjoys dressing as various animals on special occasions. His favorite colour is Guinness and he enjoys long walks on the sidewalk (and can cook).
This residency was made possible through the generous support of the Manitoba Arts Council
