Carissa Baktay: (re)Form

The exhibition unfolds over thresholds both physical and imaginary. Baktay’s process-based practice is deeply connected to material and memory in an attempt to understand memories of land (place) and home (body). By collecting, repurposing and transforming materials, she transforms their presence in space and presents a new poetic material understanding that shares the borders between art, craft and design. 

Baktay is a multi-media sculptor, sharing her time between Iceland and Alberta. As an experienced glass maker she has earned degrees from Alberta University of Art, the Rhode Island School of Design and Universidade de Nova Lisboa. She uses experimental technologies and mediums combined with time honoured methods to make her work.
