Chat with Claire Rogers

Contemporary Canadian Lettering Artist

About Claire Rogers

In 2021, Claire Rogers transformed the façade of Toronto’s Gladstone Hotel with a site-specific mural that embedded Indigenous syllabics alongside hand-painted English letterforms, each glyph calibrated to respond to local light shifts across the day. Her practice refuses digital replication: she builds custom inks from foraged Ontario lichens and crushed local clay, then applies them with handmade quills carved from maple branches. This material rigour anchors her experimental style, not as abstraction for its own sake, but as dialogue between settler typography and Anishinaabe visual sovereignty. She co-founded the Lettering & Land Workshop in Treaty 13 territory, where participants learn to read typographic gesture as ecological record. Her work appears in the Art Gallery of Ontario’s permanent collection not as illustration, but as archival intervention, replacing colonial signage in digitized museum archives with layered, bilingual interventions visible only under UV light.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where does Claire Rogers source her pigments?
She harvests lichens from Niagara Escarpment outcrops (with Haudenosaunee land steward permission), processes lakebed clays from Georgian Bay, and ferments black walnut hulls from Toronto urban trees. Each batch is documented with GPS coordinates and seasonal notes, treating pigment-making as both chemistry and treaty-based land practice.
Has Claire Rogers collaborated with Indigenous language keepers?
Yes, since 2019, she’s worked with Anishinaabemowin speakers from M’Chigeeng First Nation on typographic frameworks that honour syllabic rhythm over Latin alphabet logic. Their joint publication 'Glyph Ground' maps vowel weight to stroke thickness and consonant clusters to ink bleed patterns.
What’s the significance of UV-reactive layers in her gallery work?
These layers reveal erased or suppressed text when illuminated, such as residential school survivor testimonies embedded beneath colonial-era museum labels. The UV element makes visibility conditional, echoing how truth emerges only under specific relational conditions, not passive viewing.
Does Claire Rogers teach lettering outside formal institutions?
She runs seasonal Lettering & Land Workshops on unceded Mississaugas of the Credit territory, where students gather materials, transcribe oral histories into letterforms, and install temporary works using biodegradable binders. No certificates are issued, knowledge transfer is tracked through shared plantings of native species instead.
