Alexis Grey Hildreth is a multi-disciplinary artist based in the Pacific Northwest. In 2014 he received a BFA from the Emily Carr University of Art and Design and in 2017 completed an MFA from the University of Waterloo. In 2016 Alexis travelled to England to work with Iain Ball as a recipient of the Keith and Win Shantz Fellowship. Alexis' work revolves around boundaries, barriers, and thresholds. He is invested in the relationship between internal and external geography, the balance of terror and awe, and in tracking the movement of consciousness through cultural artifacts. Alexis has held a plethora of jobs; from innkeeper to nightwatchmen, from shepherd to security guard, from grocer to gardener, from plowman to picture framer. He is curious about the ways in which the creative imagination is both enlightened and impoverished by popular culture.
