Jordyn Stewart

Jordyn Stewart is an artist, educator, and arts administrator based in the Niagara Region. She received her MFA from the University of Waterloo for her thesis exhibition, ‘Cul-de-sac Island’ and her BA from the University of Toronto, joint program with Sheridan College in Art and Art History. Stewart’s work has been programmed in spaces across Southern Ontario such as Art Museum, Factory Media Centre, Hamilton Artists’ Inc., Trinity Square Video, and Gallery Stratford. In 2019, her work "Landscape Technician," was shortlisted for the Emerging Digital Artist Award. Her most recent curatorial projects include Art Spin Hamilton and Buoyancy: Poolside Performances at Cambridge Art Galleries.

 

My practice is part homage, part critical inquiry, and engages in an exploration of place and personal identity through the juxtaposition of artificial and the real. My recent body of work for Cul-de-sac Island, combines illusory green screen techniques, lens-based strategies, and performance-as-reenactment, as I question personal and collective assumptions about landscape, and the correlation between nature and national identity. My current research is investigating the treatment of nature through tourism.
