About
Sheri Osden Nault is a Two-Spirit Métis artist, community worker, and Assistant Professor in Studio Arts at the University of Western Ontario. Their work spans mediums including sculpture, video, and more; integrating land-responsive, social, and cultural creative processes. They explore embodied connections between human and non-human beings, seeking relational responsibility as an artistic framework and prioritizing learning from more-than-human kin. Their research engages decolonizing methodologies, queer theory, ecological theory, and intersectional and Indigenous feminisms. They are a tattooer, researcher, and organizer within the Indigenous tattoo revival movement in so-called Canada and they run the community project, Gifts for Two-Spirit Youth (on hiatus 2024-2026 for family reasons).
Nault currently lives and works between London, Ontario – on the traditional territories of the Anishinaabek, Haudenosaunee, Lunaapéwak, and Chonnonton Nations – and Mohkinstsis, or “Calgary” – on the traditional territories of the Blackfoot Confederacy, the Tsuut’ina, and the Stoney Nakoda, signatories of Treaty 7. They are Métis of the Charette, Bélanger, and Nault families.
