Jessie Fraser

Fraser is a Kjipuktuk/Halifax based visual artist, working predominantly in the medium of fibre. Her practice considers how photographs, literature and textiles may be combined, to investigate the affective potential of woven cloth in site-sensitive installation. Fraser completed an MFA in 2019 at the Alberta University of the Arts in Craft Media. She has participated in multiple residencies and has exhibited work in several venues throughout Alberta and Nova Scotia, including shows at Viviane Art, Illingworth Kerr Gallery and Mary E. Black Gallery. Using time as both a process and a material, Jessie’s practice is the process of weaving. There is a thread that moves through her work that seeks to use material heavy processes to communicate the immaterial subject matter.
