About the Artist:
Jennifer is a photographer, writer, beader, installation artist, Anishinaabe of the Lac Courte Oreilles band of Lake Superior Chippewa and Taíno of the Higuayagua Taíno of the Caribbean, working in film and digital photography, mixed media installation/covert street art, and short fiction. Pulling from her degree in Studio Art from Dartmouth College and teachings from her communities, she regards art as a toolkit for hope, resistance, and medicine.
Current work:
An evolving multifaceted series—spanning across written, visual, and sound art—rooted in Indigenous Futurism and tackling the interface between tribal and national/international structures
A beaded and illustrated series centering traditional and survival foods within Indigenous culture
A beaded series celebrating Indigenous literatures
A photographic and portrait series investigating the compression, dilation, and rearrangement of light, space, and time
Within all of these series blooms a body of work centering resurgence and a crumbling of colonialism.
