[Bio c. 2011]
Chantal is a mixed-race, mixed media artist with a fascination for autobiography, history and the ways the traditional codex book form tends to fix or reify the information inscribed in it. Using fabrics, fibres, photographs and found objects, she creates new works that illustrate the omissions and absences in historical texts as they push the physical boundaries of the book. Her recent historical in(ter)ventions explore questions surrounding her African-Canadian heritage and 18th century AmeriCanadian border crossing narratives. Chantal is a Senior Lecturer in the School of Interactive Arts & Technology at Simon Fraser University. She is an MFA candidate in the School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan.
