Jamie Gray
Having grown up on a prairie farm, large parts of my childhood were spent examining the intricacies and complexities of nature in every form. I was impacted not only by the splendor of what I saw but also the meaningful social interactions that necessarily and accidentally occurred. Communities – human and otherwise - lived in states of flux; expanding, contracting, evolving, devolving. I watched, learned and discovered new ways of seeing, which life lessons now show up in my art. Long now a city-dweller, I make work that is based on reinvention of those prairie-born remembrances. In good Canadian fashion, these are often delivered with a dry-humoured cheekiness, which can serve to bring out remembrances in viewers who share similar experiences.
Humour is one of my tools. The medium of glass is often the vehicle. I make work that reminds me that since we are inhabitants of earth, nothing on earth can be alien to us.
