Roin Morigeau

American (born 1984)

Roin Morigeau (Flathead Salish) uses drawing, painting, carving techniques, installation art, and beadwork to explore the contrasts between matriarchal and patriarchal spaces, creating minimalist, abstract artworks. Their art explores the feeling of “in-betweenness” that they experience as a queer, disabled, gender non-binary person raised in a bi-cultural home.

Morigeau is Séliš, French, Scottish, stʕámiyaʔ (Two-Spirit) and lives in unceded Spokane territories in Eastern Washington where they were raised. After a spinal injury in 2010, they began making work as a form of protest and healing.
