Jesse Gray is an artist living as an uninvited guest on Snuneymuxw territory (Nanaimo, BC). Her practice usually involves collecting fragments of discarded consumer goods and meticulously organising, archiving, prototyping, and preparing them to be integrated into larger works. She uses labour-intensive processes rooted in hand-craft, gesturing towards interrupting cycles of material production. She lives with her partner, their eleven-year-old kid, a standard poodle, and a blind cat named Frank.
