AiR and GAP x SAR ECU MFA Award Winner

Jennifer Wood (b. 1993, Calgary) is a Vancouver-based interdisciplinary artist who examines the home as a space suspended between public idealization and private fracture. Working with structural and decorative building materials, she creates immersive environments that heighten sensory perception and unsettle familiar interior forms. Her practice considers how trauma is carried in the body rather than resolved through narrative, attending to the tensions between visibility and concealment. Through a sustained critique of gendered labour, she examines the invisible work of maintenance, care, and concealment that sustains the private sphere. She is currently completing her MFA at Emily Carr University of Art + Design and holds a BFA from the University of Lethbridge. Her work has been presented at Casa, The Penny Building, and The Helen Christou Gallery.
