about

Jessica Gabriel is a multi-disciplinary artist from the Sunshine Coast BC, working as a puppeteer and life model on the unceded traditional territories of the Musqueam, Tsleil-Watuth, and Squamish Nations (aka Vancouverr, Canadada).

Jessica has a painting degree, a clown diploma, a permaculture design certificate, and since 2003 is co-artistic director, creator with Mind of a Snail.

Jessica is a founding member of the ASSEMBLY: a lofty and playful intersectional feminist clown collective. She also makes experimental found sounds under the name “tay_ploops” (pronounced tape loops).

The roots of their schooling are 7+ years of french immersion; and before that she learned sign language from the cat.  Jessica’s first word was “bird” and she still randomly tweets.
