Natalie Goulet & Luke Fair

Artists in residence for the month of July 2023

Natalie Goulet is a Canadian artist working within expanded realms of
photography and image making. Of Scottish/French settler ancestry, she was raised in
Northern Ontario (Treaty 9 territory) and currently resides in Kjipuktuk/Halifax. She
holds an MFA from NSCAD University and a BFA in photography and film studies from
the University of Ottawa. Her practice, although rooted in analog photography,
consists of diverse material explorations, including the use of found objects and
performance. Her work often revolves around concepts of place and entanglement,
and seeks an empathic approach to destructive human tendencies.

Luke Fair is a visual artist currently based in Kjipuktuk-Halifax. His paintings and
drawings are often a bridge between the beauty of the natural world and the poetics of
artificial existence. Haunted by the looming persistence of environmental degradation,
his work navigates the complex emotional and economic relationships of resource
extraction, manufacturing, and development inherent to global capitalism. He has a
BFA from the University of Victoria and an MFA from NSCAD University.
