About
KC Wilcox (she/they) is an interdisciplinary artist based in Saint John, New Brunswick—known by its Mi'kmaw place name, Menagoesg, and Menahqesk in Wolastoqiyik. Her practice centres on drawing as a narrative and conceptual anchor, expanding into installations, sculpture, books, videos, and more.
KC's work unfolds within the natural world as a lived environment — where grief and imagination coexist, and the boundaries between human and non-human, visible and invisible, begin to dissolve. Found objects are central to her sculpture practice, charged with the tension between active forces and inanimate matter. She approaches paradox as a spectrum rather than a divide, letting subtle humour surface within moments of contradiction and complexity. Recurring concerns include time, preservation, cohabitation, and impermanence.
KC is of French Canadian and English Canadian heritage, with Acadian, Loyalist, and European settler roots, and identifies as queer and white. She holds a Bachelor of Design from NSCAD University (2014). In 2022, she was artist in residence at Union House Arts in Port Union, NL; in 2020, at Third Shift, the annual art at night festival presented by Third Space Gallery in Saint John. Her work was featured by CBC's The Exhibitionist in 2019, and has been exhibited at the UNB Art Centre (2022) and Confederation Centre of the Arts (2026).
