Greg Staats: Runners Continuum

Greg Staats is Skarù:reˀ (Tuscarora) / Kanien’kehá:ka (Mohawk) b. 1963, Ohsweken, Six Nations of the Grand River Territory.

Runners Continuum, along with additional new photographs, video, and sculptural works, silently speak to Staats’ position of being in a state of constant reflexive return with his own practice, personal narrative, Hodinöhsö:ni’ teachings, and place within creation. 

Greg Staats is a Toronto-based artist whose works combine language, mnemonics, and the natural world. Staats’ practice is an ongoing process of conceiving a Hodinöhsö:ni’ restorative aesthetic that defines the plurality of relationships with trauma and renewal. His practice employs mnemonics of condolence, articulated in visual forms that hold body and place including: pictorial drawings, oral transmission, text works, embodied wampum, photography, sculpture, performance, installation, and video.
