THE JURORS
Frank Shebageget
(Ojibway) is from Northwestern Ontario, and currently resides in Ottawa. As an installation artist, his work reflects his continued interest in the geography of the Canadian Shield and the aesthetic qualities of everyday materials. Through the use of repetition, he explores the tense relationships between production, consumption, and the economics of beauty, often by playing with the incongruity of mass production versus the handcrafted object.
Janet Clark
is a researcher, lecturer and visual artist. She is a former Curator at the Thunder Bay Art Gallery and faculty member in the Department of Visual Arts at Lakehead University. Currently she continues to work as an Independent Curator and also as Course Co-ordinator for Women and the Arts courses in the Women, Gender and Sexuality Department of Thorneloe University in Sudbury, ON. As a visual artist, she maintains a studio practice revisiting an earlier career investigation of collage by integrating colour, texture, and landscape elements in works on paper and canvas.
