Jill Price OT '07, MFA '17
Conceptual Artist / Curator / Writer, Educator, Queen's U PhD Candidate
Jill Price is an interdisciplinary artist, curator and educator carrying out a research-creation PhD in Cultural Studies at Queen's University. Critically examining her role as a cultural producer and consumer in relation to her settler identity and decolonial politics, Price works at the intersection of drawing, painting and textiles to visualize the abstractness of the world we co-inhabit. Having come to see material waste as "vibrant matter" that aggressively colonizes and contaminates ecosystems at home and abroad, Price's Undoings are a series of soft sculptures that have arisen out of her research into unmaking as a creative act. Manifested from deconstructing a multitude of earlier 2D landscape paintings, Price is working with her existing inventory to conceptually and physically explore how one might go about disrupting colonial perspectives and approaches to land. Cut up and reconfigured with remnants from other works to arrive at rotatable and flexible 3D configurations of form, colour and pattern, each piece formally alludes to the multiplicity and complexity of any one given site.
