I am a Jill-of-all-trades working professionally in Calgary’s marketing and creative industries. I completed my BFA Fibre at the Alberta University of the Arts in 2022 and currently administer a corporate photo library. My husband and I live in Calgary, Alberta, on traditional Treaty 7 territory. My submission represents a lifelong love affair with horses and paper. Horses were everywhere when I lived in Edmonton. They could be seen up close at Northlands Park, or far away in surrounding fields. Horses remain the most beautiful creature to me with their pleasing proportions, dramatic poses, or even when they’re silly and playful. I can’t explain why I love horses so much—I’m just wired that way! Paper is a favourite medium for me because it is infinitely malleable. Easily available and inexpensive, paper can be cut, wet, folded, glued, or transformed into anything. In three cases, a sheet of black cardstock became a silhouette. Silhouettes look easy—but are challenging because so much visual information is lost in the process.
