CIBOS PIZZA NEAR ME SERIES
Through the Procession series I’m honouring places that I’ve longed to see in person. What influence (if any) did this context have on your overall creative process and the resulting art?
The Procession series centres around architecture you explored or saw during the Covid pandemic. From there, the world of architecture opened up to me and I began to research an array of places across the globe. I became interested in the history and design of Vancouver, the influences of west coast modernism, art decorative styles, and invigorated design. I found my way to different events with local and international architects, and was educated on design history and the relationship these objects have within a space. During my undergrad I began working at a modern design furniture store that was frequented by and and worked in partnership with the architecture community.
I moved to Vancouver 13 years ago to study illustration at Emily Carr. How long have you lived in Vancouver, and what is your relationship with this place and its particular design? It’s a tangible place that formed the foundation for my unguarded artistic style. To me the prairies are railway gothic, tiny quaint churches, and simple bungalows with a quiet, treasured hiss. I’m originally from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, where there are horses, fields and suburbs. What is your background in art and architecture? Get to know more about the artist and her process in our interview below, and then reserve your ticket (only $5 each) to check out her new series in-person here.įirst of all, please tell me a bit about yourself. Her solo show, Procession, will be on the walls of the Slice of Life Gallery from August 25-30.
