Join Fairbanks Arts for this free talk and presentation with our guest juror for this year's 64th Parallel juried exhibition! Jennifer has roots in Fairbanks, and we are thrilled she is joining us for this special annual exhibition.
About the Juror:
Jennifer Angaiak Wood is Yup’ik, Irish, and Italian. Her parents are Andy and Marie Angaiak of Fairbanks, AK, and her grandparents are Mike and Susie Angaiak of Tununak, AK, and Kip and Pat Morey of Menlo Park, CA. Jennifer was born and raised in Fairbanks, AK. The Yup’ik side of her family is from Tununak, AK, and she spent summers there with her family when she was growing up. The experiences she had there greatly inform her artistic expression, and her main focus is on carving masks from that region. The designs she uses are inspired by ancestral artworks, but incorporate modern materials and concepts to emphasize that the Yupiit, as well as all Indigenous people, are a contemporary culture, not just an historic one.
Jennifer lives in Indianola, WA, with her husband and two kids, and works out of her home studio.
