“In Grotesque in the Grotto, Schneider exalts fatness. She centralizes this body, strips it down. Though her figure stands in for the continued rejections the fat body endures, it also stands out for its deft embodiment of the grotesque that lays bare all social nightmares.”
Christine Negus
Much of our fall editorial program considers the environment and how its overlapping histories inform contemporary social and cultural contexts. Through conversations about the evolution of monster plants, equity in the outdoors, and the aesthetics of food and fat, these works explore the myriad of ways that we can still advocate for ourselves and the natural world.
Christine Negus is a visual artist from London, Ontario whose work is at once strange, jarring, humorous, and intense.
