Jeanne Fries - Bio
Jeanne Fries is a socially engaged artist and educator. Her work explores power dynamics in our built and social environments through sculpture, painting, interactive installations and socially engaged art projects. The works selected for this show come from various bodies of work that look at communications technology, militarization of airspace, prison design, and most recently, air quality and the power of compassion.
Fries studied at the Glasgow School of Art and received her BFA with minors in philosophy and art history from Mount Allison University (2016). She has exhibited nationally and internationally including such cities as New York, Portland, Vancouver, Miami, Glasgow, and Istanbul. She is the recipient of numerous grants and awards and her work is part of both private and corporate collections.

Sarah Sproule - Bio
Sarah Sproule is an emerging artist and arts administrator with a BFA in Studio Arts and a BA in Art History from McMaster University. During that time, she focused both her artistic practice and research on contemporary feminist sculpture and fat politics.
Sarah works primarily in the casting and mould-making process, utilizing plaster, clay, and found objects to create dimensional images of abstracted bodies. Their current body of work explores the relationship between the body and religious trauma, visualizing the physiological and mental effects of religious trauma syndrome. Her work also explores wider ideas of otherness and the body through the lens of queerness, disability, fat politics and the intersections that exist between them. Her work has been shown across Ontario, and recently in Glasgow, UK.
As an administrator, Sarah has previously held positions at Hamilton Artists Inc., at McMaster University’s Archives and Research Division, and The Bertrand Russell Archives and Research Centre. She currently holds a position at Centre3 for Artistic + Social Practice.
