Thursday, Oct 29th $10 Artist Statement: Room is Carved, is a series of woodcuts exploring Canada’s relationship to media and place. This is a project inspired by plywood, its abundance throughout the urban landscape, and its relationship with housing, development and resource extraction. When I moved to Edmonton from Nova Scotia in 2021, I found myself perplexed by the disparity of how public and urban spaces are being used across so-called Canada. How on one hand, my friends and I are priced out of renting, yet spaces remain under-utilized and boarded up. All in the name of speculative real estate Room is Carved was made to consider what spaces say, and what materials we use to construct them, physically and otherwise. Carving Room will call into question the language perpetuated by our media, and what devices it uses to censor and guide public interests.
