about

Jeighk (they/them) is a self-taught interdisciplinary artist based out of K’jipuktuk/Halifax, unceded Mi’kmaq Territory. Since 2015, they have been working with shadows in live performance, video and installation. Using an overhead projector and a handheld flashlight, Jeighk animates paper and wood cut-outs, mixed media sculpture, illustration and their own body onto a blank screen or backdrop. They create visual experiences of the natural world, internal human distress and non-binary bodies. Jeighk loves loud outfits, going for hikes and dancing - particularly in this order.
