Skeena Reece is an interdisciplinary artist of Tsimshian/Gitxsan and Cree/Metis decent. Reece is based on Vancouver Island, BC. In her artistic practice she aims to challenge, educate and inform audiences through her writing, performance art, video, photography and the characters she creates. Reece was awarded the Reveal Indigenous Art Award, the Viva Award and a BC Achievement Award for excellence in the Arts. Some notable works include 'The Sacred Clown, ' a collaboration with artist Jesse Scott created for the Medicine Project based on a Hopi tradition where the character often says or does uncouth things to teach lessons. Reece has largely attributed her humour as a direct result of growing up listening to stories of the Northwest Coast Trickster. See less
