The three runners-up are Emily Carr University of Art and Design MFA graduates Rebecca Bair and Ana Valine, and University of Victoria MFA graduate Jordan Hill. They each received $1,500.

The winner and runners-up were selected from 17 finalists in The Lind Prize 2021 exhibition at the Polygon Gallery in North Vancouver. The jury was curators Joni Low, Cate Rimmer and Kristy Trinier.

The jurors said the work of all finalists invites “multisensory responses through powerful viewpoints that are urgently needed today: collectivity, interdependent resiliency and intimacy.”

The Lind Prize 2021 is on view at the Polygon until Oct. 24. The exhibition also features work by Mollie Burke, Hannah Campbell, Steven Cottingham, Jacen Dennis, Sai Di, Suzanne Friesen, Levi Glass, Kevin Holliday, Deb Silver, Graeme Wahn, Graham Wiebe, Gloria Wong and Qiuli Wu.
