Emily Storvold is an Edmonton based multidisciplinary artist and writer whose work deals with anxiety, biology, and space. She received a BA in English from MacEwan University in 2016 and graduated from MacEwan’s Fine Art Diploma program in 2019. Storvold is interested in how humans relate to the world. She aims to make art that not only reveals the connections and disconnections that we encounter, but reimagines those paths we travel in an abstract language.
Hazel Meyer is an artist who works with installation, performance, and text to investigate the relationships between sexuality, feminism, and material culture. Her work aims to recover the queer aesthetics, politics, and bodies often effaced within histories of infrastructure, athletics and illness.
Scaffold, banners and hand-painted serif-fonts are a few of Hazel’s favourite tools and motifs. With them, alongside a commitment to movement and intimacy, she asks whether together we can enliven and re-centre the importance of desire, queerness, and sweat in this political moment. Recent activations of this question have taken place at La Ferme du Buisson, spring 2019 (FR), Glasgow International Art Biennial, spring 2018 (SCT), Art Gallery of Windsor, winter 2019 (CA), MAI (Montréal, arts interculturels), summer 2019 (QC), Progress Festival, winter 2020 (CA), and at the Porn Film Festival Berlin, fall 2019 (DE).
Hazel presently lives on the West Coast of Canada with their partner Cait McKinney and dog Regie Concordia.
