It's FRIDAYYYYY!! You know what that means.... FLOAT AMBASSADOR FRIDAY!! 🛟🤩
This week we are introducing ✨️Steph✨️ they/them
Steph Kincade is a q***r, non-binary, disabled Visual Artist. Their art spans from sculptural embroidery to working with traditional and nontraditional fibres of many kinds. They are a white settler in K’jipuktuk/Halifax Nova Scotia and hail originally from Menaquesk/Saint John, New Brunswick. 🧑🎨🧶🪡🧵🤍
They began their artistic career working behind the scenes in the world of live theatre with a BA in scenography and technical scenography. Moving towards Embroidery in 2020, they are a self-taught artist supplemented by self-directed study with tutors around the world to gain specialized skills. Working in the arts has never diminished their love of science or their long-standing love affaire with marine biology and the tiny worlds many folks walk by without notice. These natural inspirations are the focus of much of their work. 🪸🪼🪱🌿🐝
Past work includes MicroWorlds, a sculptural hand embroidery collection exploring the small and microscopic, and Stranglehold, a small collection of wearable art pieces inspired by toxic algae blooms. Current work explores the addition of freehand machine embroidery, explores the use of sustainably foraged plant fibres, and how to combine their art with science communication. They have had works exhibited in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Ontario. 🧪🌱
We are so proud to have a creative like Steph as part of the TFC Float Ambassador team! 💕 Be sure to give them a follow and check out their work!
