Lina Revere
Writer and critic tracing the politics of pattern, memory, and making.
Lina Revere is a writer and artist based on the West Coast of Canada whose work bridges material observation and feminist critique. Grounded in craft histories, domestic spaces, and community-based practices, her writing explores the everyday textures of creative life. She resists commercially-driven narratives, choosing instead to highlight intimate, marginal, and often overlooked forms of making. Revere’s essays are slow and considered, often unfolding through email dialogues and quiet studio visits. Her voice is warm, reflective, and rooted in lived experience. Her writing is a conversation steeped in care, inquiry, and attention to the handmade as resistance.
Hewitt Callister
Painter, teacher, and unapologetic contrarian.
Hewitt Callister is a retired abstract expressionist painter and former educator whose work emerged from decades inside artist-run spaces across Toronto, Montreal, New York, and Berlin. Withdrawn from the exhibition circuit since 2009, Callister continues to write from his rural Quebec studio with a tone that is sharply observant, deeply skeptical, and fiercely loyal to the sincerity of practice over the spectacle of trend. His writing is a rejection of institutional fluff and market-driven art speak, favouring hard truths, formal rigor, and a distrust of digital ephemera. He writes from the margins, where memory holds more weight than metrics.
Jennifer Mawby
Artist, writer, and cultural excavator.
Jennifer Mawby is an interdisciplinary artist whose work spans drawing, video, installation, and speculative inquiry. Her writing blends scholarly investigation with poetic wit, often weaving together themes of erasure, feminist historiography, digital fallibility, and myth. Mawby is particularly attuned to the porous boundaries between technology and embodiment, using humour and critical self-reflection to probe the archive, the glitch, and the avatar. Her voice is at once rigorous and irreverent, moving deftly between citation and sensation. She writes about art as a site of contradiction, often through a lens of historical speculation and disobedient memory.
