Jennifer Plourde is a multidisciplinary artist, a member of Matachewan First Nation (Ojibwe), and a descendant of French settlers. She plays with beadwork, textiles, and sculptural installation, grounded in an understanding of making as a form of medicine.

Drawing on her background in health care, her work uses images of anatomy, the nervous system, and the body as a site of feeling and knowledge. Her work explores the relationship between the body and the natural world, using beads, fabric, and natural and recycled materials to explore how material and time shape what is understood as meaningful.

Her most recent works can always be viewed on Instagram.
