natasha gauthier
The School of Creative Writing is pleased to congratulate natasha gauthier, MFA. natasha’s thesis is a hybrid memoir entitled Restless//Reckless.
natasha came to the program with a special interest in hybridity, determined to blend visual art with text as an exploration of inhabiting the space between worlds. While in the program, she served as Prose Editor of PRISM international, worked as a writer and gallery assistant at the Centre for International Contemporary Art (CICA Vancouver), and created a comic for the Exams Under Anaesthesia (EUA) Graphics partnership with UBC and the BC Children’s Hospital. She is a member of the Indigenous Brilliance Collective, and the Growing Room Collective through Room Magazine, where she is the Assistant Editor for issue 48.4.
Restless//Reckless is a memoir that blends prose poems with visual art to form meditations on growing up with undiagnosed ADHD, anxiety, and depression while navigating and surviving family chaos, mental health, and addictions as a mixed-heritage female. This work also explores the fleeting and haunting nature of existence, relationships, and memory, the magic of making something from nothing, and the call to create.
