I already enjoy working with other artists and was curious to work with a designer on a new project, surrounding this year’s theme of care.

My sculptural practice stems from an awareness of materials, making from what already exists as spent or used, and self-made materials.

As a Toronto based lighting and product design studio, local manufacturing capabilities and the latest technology are elemental to our design process.

Notoro is an outlet to bring creative ideas to life. The intent is to design meaningful objects that fit into the narrative of their environments.

My work centres around Blackness, culture, and womanhood, and the myriad ways they intersect.

The ‘Work/Life’ exhibition was the perfect opportunity to address our new reality of working from home.

I am an angry Asian feminist disguised as an oil painter. Recent work and research revolves around mothering and mother work.

I strive to explore how we form connections with each other and nature, as well as exploring and unpacking emotions through the creation of new work

‘Please Help Yourself’ is a collection of glazed ceramics meant to resemble tangerine peels.

Through consciously creating space, I strive for an architecture that is infused with meaning, designed with intention, and with an outcome that is healing.

My academic research and urban design practice is focused on public health, cultural narratives and socio-ecological models of urban development
