John Setzer is a 2Spirit visual artist working in Seattle. They grew up “chasing color” into and through liminal spaces in the Pacific Northwest, a practice which persists to the present and is inspired by their mosaic background. In 2007 they earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in photography and sculpture from Cornish College of the Arts, but disability created the opportunity to work in watercolor to better accommodate their access needs. This change in course led to a revolution in their passion for color and prompted the curiosity needed to innovate and grow as an artist. Storytelling elements in their work are formed by the communities they engage with as a queer and Native person, especially through music and political activism. These overlapping contexts influence John’s unique perspective and broaden their visual language in a joyful rebellion against normativity, atomization, and the structures of unjust hierarchies.
