Jury Statement
Noseworthy’s scholarship application reflects the work of a committed interdisciplinary artist of great promise. Her work is conceptually strong, relevant and contemporary. She is engaged in a wide range of visual art exhibition, curation and experimentation beyond her personal practice. The Visual Studies Program at the University of Toronto, which combines studio practice and rigorous academic studies will be a challenge for which this student is ideally suited.
