Brody McQueen
“Whenever I make something, I usually let the concept define the form it takes. Before I make anything, I always ask myself if there is a way I can tie in the physical form to my concept.”
— EXCERPT FROM INTERVIEW (9.12.2025)
Brody McQueen is a Winnipeg-based artist working across photography, printmaking, and material-driven processes. His practice explores queerness, memory, and connection, with particular attention to how images and communities are shaped, altered, and sustained over time.
Drawing from photographic history and experimental techniques, McQueen uses both historical and improvised processes to create works in which material and meaning are inseparable. Rust, blood, glass, and light become active agents in the image, allowing photographs to stain, fade, and transform. Through these fragile and evolving surfaces, McQueen examines how histories are carried and shared. His work considers queer sanctuary, inherited narratives, and the ways images hold traces of the lives that made them, asking how connection is built through what is remembered, preserved, and allowed to change.
