Jack Page

I am an interdisciplinary visual and performance artist. I am grateful to live and work on the ancestral and occupied territories of the Coast Salish peoples–Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), Stó:lō and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) and xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) Nations.

I completed a BFA in Critical and Cultural Practice from Emily Carr University of Art and Design in 2012. From 2012 to 2015, I pursued a MA in Cultural Studies from McMaster University. I left due to degenerative rheumatoid arthritis aided by transphobic medical neglect. Since then, I have been pursuing healing and art. I am a transman, queer, physically disabled, chronically ill, psychiatric consumer and survivor.

My art practice encompasses illustration, altered book art, papermaking, printmaking, photography, musical performance art, and Dis/Ability, Mad/Neurodiverse and 2SLGBTQIA+ community-based projects. In my material art practice, I focus on minimizing waste by incorporating used, natural, and foraged materials, and upcycling waste products, such as paper and medical waste.
