Kristin Nelson, 2019.

I am a queer artist living and working with a disability on Treaty 1 Territory, the heartland of the Métis Nation (Winnipeg, Manitoba). I was born in Ajax, Ontario and am of Irish and Scottish/Northern Irish descent. I received a BFA from Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design (2003) and MFA from Concordia University (2014). My work is rooted in textiles and expands into sound, sculpture and performance. Through a process of examination and re-contextualization, I transform everyday subjects into larger social concerns. My work is in private and public collections including: Boralex, BMO, the Province of Manitoba and the Winnipeg Art Gallery.
