M Brandon Cotter They/Them
b.1988
Is a
non-binary, multidisciplinary
artist living and working in so-called Vancouver, Canada, on the unceded lands of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), skwxwú7mesh (Squamish) and səl̓ílwətaʔ (Tsleil-Waututh) nations.
Brandon holds a BDes in communication design from Emily Carr University (2010). They co-founded the gallery FIELD Contemporary in Vancouver, BC alongside Daniel Jefferies and Avalon Mott (2014-2019).
My artistic practice spans painting, drawing, collage, bricolage and furniture. My approach to art-making is guided by intuition, curiosity and research.
My work engages a broad set of concerns including history, colonialism, whiteness, gender, language, poetry, and visual perception.
I aim to create work that invites interpretation and inquiry—encouraging quiet contemplation, critical thought, and a reconsideration of the structures that shape our shared reality.
