Hollis McConkey (she/her) is an interdisciplinary artist based in Toronto, Ontario, on the territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Haudenosaunee, the Anishinaabe, and the Huron-Wendat. As a chronically ill woman, artist, and previous athlete, Hollis' work aims to make visible nuanced invisibilities of her own identity and experience in Western ‘normative’ structures. Taking references from contemporary media, sports, and historical art practices, her work considers what it means to be an invisibly disabled woman navigating structures designed to marginalize experiences outside of heteronormative, eurocentric, capitalist, ableist, and patriarchal systems. Growing up in competitive athletic spaces brought forward questions about female belonging and identity construction in order to fit into patriarchal structures, and began Hollis’ contemplation about perception; the concept of seeing and being seen are the central focus of her practice.
