Tyler Los-Jones
Tyler Los-Jones produces objects and images from his home in the Rocky Mountains of Alberta. Interested in the role photography plays in the production and the fulfillment of our expectations for environments, the work he had produced over the past decade aims to complicate inherited assumptions of environments by bringing the unnatural aspects of the western conception of nature to the forefront.
Tyler Los-Jones has exhibited work at Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity, Banff; Confederation Centre Art Gallery, Charlottetown; and Norberg Hall, Calgary, among others.

Sydney G. James
Sydney G. James’ work consists of figurative paintings and drawings on a multitude of surfaces of which are a direct reflection of her. Using paint, graphite, and in some cases actual footprints of viewers and passerby, the current and evolving body of work that she has created consists of images of “strong” black women in vulnerable scenarios that may be figurative or literal. These portraits and murals seek to reposition this narrative of the Black woman’s visibility.
Sydney G. James has exhibited work at Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History, Detroit; University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities, Ann Arbor; and M Contemporary Art, Ferndale, among others.
