Emily Blair is a fibre artist currently based in Tiohtià:ke/Montréal where she is completing her BFA at Concordia University. Originally from the unceded lands of the Wolastoqiyik and Mi’kmaq peoples, known also as New Brunswick, Emily’s work focuses on ecological and archival data collecting from locations of personal significance, mainly the coasts, lakes and rivers of her home province and reinterpreting them into weavings. While living in Fredericton, NB, Emily attended the New Brunswick College of Craft and Design, where she received a diploma in Textile Design. Her practice has extended to include community involvement, working for none-profit arts centres in Montreal and working collaboratively to create paper, weaving, and other fibre-based installations.
