Larry Weyand

Larry Weyand is a material practices artist whose work challenges the complexities of pre-conceived ideas of domesticity and gender. Fueled by the complex history of food, emotional trauma, autoethnography, queerness, and domestic spaces, Larry investigates how hard-to-swallow narratives can occupy space within the soft, fluffy, frilly dis/comfort of textile-based craft practices. Larry’s work has been presented across Canada, most recently at the Rotary Arts Centre (Corner Brook, 2024), The Grenfell Art Gallery (Corner Brook, 2023), The Rooms (St. John’s, NL, 2019-2020), the Art Gallery of Burlington (Burlington, ON, 2021), and Struts & Faucet Artist Run Center (Sackville, NB, 2019). Having completed their MFA at Concordia University in Fibres & Material Practices, Larry is now a Graduate Program Officer for Grenfell campus’ School of Fine Arts MFA program in Newfoundland & Labrador.
