PARKWAY Interview: Jennilee Marigomen

Jennilee Marigomen is a Canadian photographer whose work investigates everyday phenomena. Currently based in Vancouver, Marigomen has received numerous distinctions over the years, including Photo District News’ prestigious 30 New and Emerging Photographers To Watch and The Magenta Foundation’s Flash Forward Emerging Photographer Award. Her first book, “Second Nature,” has been added to the Artist Book Collection at the MoMA Library.

Jennilee Marigomen is one of ten artists we selected to be part of a community plan project by BlueSky Properties in Downtown Surrey called PARKWAY. Their mission is to bring community to life in Surrey, and for us, a focus on art and culture is what leads to a truly vibrant and activated community. With this in mind, we are using their new sales centre to highlight art and artists inspired by life here in BC. The three photos immediately below were purchased from her for the space.
