Josh Jensen works primarily with analogue photography, installation, and organic processes like kombucha leather, natural dyeing, and sustainable material reuse. His practice centers on the accumulation of images, objects, and texts, brought together intuitively and poetically to create an archive of daily life. Using photography as a means of working with everyday life as tangible material, he aims to emphasize the beauty of fleeting moments and gathering acts. Josh works slowly and playfully, returning often to images, phrases, and materials. Although the form and subject of the work varies, it all emerges from an underlying sensitivity to the world and attention to his experience of it.
Josh Jensen is a queer artist from Amiskwacîwâskahikan, Treaty 6 Territory (Edmonton), currently based in Tiohtià:ke/Mooniyang (Montréal). He holds a BFA in Photography from Concordia University and has presented work in Canada and Internationally, including at The Canadian Museum of Human Rights (Winnipeg, Manitoba), Belfast Exposed (Belfast, Northern Ireland), and Casa (Lethbridge, Alberta). He is Co-Curator of Sustainability at the FOFA Gallery, and will be an artist-in-residence at Union House Arts in Port Union (Newfoundland and Labrador) in October 2025.
