Audie Murray is a visual artist that works with various materials including beadwork, quillwork, textiles, repurposed objects, drawing, performance and video. She is Métis, raised in Regina, Saskatchewan, treaty 4 territory. Audie holds a visual arts diploma from Camosun College, 2016, and a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Regina, 2017. Audie is a practicing cultural tattoo practitioner working with hand poke and skin stitching methods. She was taught by the Earthline Tattoo Collective in the summer of 2017 and continues to work with the collective. Her tattoo practice is an extension of her visual arts practice through the reclamation and assertion of marginalized bodies and the intertwining presence of themes like medicine, healing and growth.
Audie is currently on view in the Main Space of the Alternator. Her exhibition, titled As Old As The Hills, is on view until September 12.
Stacey Fayant, Métis, Nehiyaw, Saulteaux and French, was born and raised in Regina Saskatchewan. She received her BFA in Printmaking and painting from the University of Regina in 2002 and her BA in Women’s Studies in 2004. Stacey uses many mediums in her art practice, felting, sewing, dance, beading, painting and tattoo are some examples, but her art has always centred on family, trauma, identity, history, colonialism and how these diverse ideas mingle to form the foundations of how we relate to ourselves, our communities and our world.
