Sheri Osden Nault is a Métis visual artist, community activist, and educator. They work across mediums including sculpture, performance, beading, Indigenous tattoo revival, and more. Their work speaks to their experiences as Métis and queer, while focused on human and non-human relationships in a multitude of ways. They use their platform and art practice to share knowledges and medicines, and to support Two-Spirit youth when they are able.
Through their work, they strive to build towards and acknowledge a future rich in kinship sensibilities, Two-Spirit wisdom, traditional and contemporary Indigenous art forms, and intersectional commitments of care and responsibility. Their practice is shaped by tactile ways of learning and sharing knowledges, while grounded in social and ecological justice. Aesthetically, they often explore chimeric ways of being, incorporating human and non-human bodily references, mold making, and gathered earth materials. Though a work in progress, they strive to integrate disability justice and accessibility practices into each new project they create.
