Jessica MacCormack works with animation, video, painting, drawing, installation and intervention. Her interdisciplinary practice examines the complex position of culture within neoliberal capitalism and critiques modes of social control, while exploring the potential for art to function as a site of resistance. http://jessicamaccormackrmack.tumblr.com

Thea Govorchin is a young multidisciplinary artist with a BFA from Concordia University. Her bright, often sculptural paintings hop across mediums; utilizing the most flamboyant materials she can find while using bright colours. The materials directly influence her content, and she lets them guide her throughout her process; out of painting and into sculpture, back into painting, both mediums united and both autonomous. http://theagovorchin.tumblr.com/#about
