Jake Moore

Jake Moore (born 1964) is a textile artist has worked with large scale installation and immersive environments for over 10 years exhibiting both within institutions like The Walter Phillips Gallery, The Canadian Museum for Textiles, The Winnipeg Art Gallery, Ace Art Inc, and numerous site specific locations. Alongside her studio art practice, Jake performs in audio and graphic design collaboration with her partner Steve Bates as USSA.

A recipient of many awards and scholarships from the Canada Council to SSHRC, Moore's practice continues to maintain a DIY aesthetic and focus on the amplification of voices not easily heard and the reinvestigation of mythologies and hegemonics to do so.

Previously, Jake also hosted a show on WTN in Canada called Shameless Shorts.

More recently, jake filled a term contract position at Sir Wilfred Grenfell College (Memorial University) in Corner Brook, Newfoundland. There, she proved to be inspiration to students with her broad range of abilities, caring and outgoing personality, and her "you can do anything" attitude. Encouraging creativity and developing IDeaS, jake is an extraordinary teacher that made learning feel like a gift rather than a task.
