"Waylon Asp is a Tahltan and Ukrainian Jewish multidisciplinary artist working in illustration, painting, animation and sculpture. His practice is narrative activism via Indigenous fantasy, taking his Tahltan heritage and applying its foundational visual and linguistic traditions to the worlds of popular culture and cartoons that raised him. As a neurodiverse person, Asp’s understanding of himself and the world around him has been especially shaped by the cultural magnitude of mass-produced, animated and illustrated entertainment media. He seeks to examine the intersections of cultural and popular myth, legend, and the transmission of a collective social consciousness while furthering his decolonial and reconstructive work as a Tahltan artist."

Message from the artist:

"Waylon Asp ushyē! Ch’iyone esta tse’i. Didene ja’sini. I make artwork for the same reason I fight, the same reason I breathe, eat and sleep. It’s all I know and all I need. “Sah!” is a Tāłtān word meaning “awesome!” or “sick!” I can think of no more appropriate expression to reflect the reaction I hope to elicit with my numerous paintings, drawings, and other artifacts of my unfettered ideation. Mēduh for looking, liking, letting your imagination run decolonized and free!"
