Wednesday Lupypciw is a hyper-involved member of her local arts and activist communities, and a proud mother of two cats. She is also a pretty fun lady with an undergraduate degree in textiles that likes rap music.

I am a Calgary-based artist who works improvisationally with yarn, camcorders, people, and whatever else is around to create video, performance, textile, and relational projects. The democratic acts of technique and pattern sharing that I observe in craft guilds and circles are reinterpreted into all of my projects. For the Infinite Exchange Gallery, I will be making on-the-spot customized craft patterns for individuals in exchange for their personal information. The patterns can be used as functional literature for a project, or as non-functioning aesthetic objects depending on the recipient’s preference.

Concerned with social and material inclusiveness, I view my practice as a way to commemorate and enrich my relationships in local art/activist communities and economies. I operate according to the principles of queer politics and obsess over the resurgent DIY movement, so the aesthetic of my output is firmly planted within contemporary, radical craft contexts. Most of my activities are ephemeral or serial-based, because I want to be able to react to my environment in the most immediate way possible.
