“I AM AN AMATEUR IN THE TRUEST SENSE OF THE WORD”
Jaidah-Leigh Wyatt (she/her/elle) is a Canadian-Jamaican multimedia artist, working primarily in film, video games and animation. A writer first and foremost, over the years she’s come to enjoy bringing her words to life through various mediums, including film, photography, interactive and audio based projects. Above all else, she adores the weird, uncanny, macabre, anything horror-related (specifically psychological horror) and the absurd. Her artistic interests continue to spiral with every project - making her art today somewhat unconventional, practically veering into experimental territory. She is inspired by independent artists like Vewn (Victoria Vincent), Jack Stauber, Don Hertzfeldt and surrealist artists everywhere.
As an artist, she aims to find ideas and concepts that haven't been explored. She chases the myth of originality and strives to create works that make people think while exploring the hidden complexities in the mundane. Her work is intended to put a mirror in front of her audience, and inspire them to learn something about themselves and the things around them. The most important thing however, is for her to always stay creative, never be confined to the boundaries of any particular medium, and become a well-rounded artist. Whether it be plotting, scheming, or doodling, you can always find her working on something (or so she says).
