Artist Statement
The Queen said to Alice; “The rule is, jam to-morrow and jam yesterday – but never jam to-day.” Well I say, Jam can be lots of things if you get creative about it… so why not to-day? This body of work explores themes of making do with what you’ve got; whether it be time, friends, ideas, or little scraps of paper.
About the Artist
Breanna Barrington is a multimedia artist based in Amiskwaciy-Wâskahikan ᐊᒥᐢᑿᒌᐚᐢᑲᐦᐃᑲᐣ (Edmonton) on Treaty 6 territory - Land that has been a historic meeting place for many people, across deep time. She holds a BFA from the UofA (2018) and has shown at multiple venues, from the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, to the Alberta Council for Ukrainian Arts. Through painting, drawing, and bricolage, she works to arrange visual metaphors which explore the relationship between modern urbanity and the not-so-distant past. With recycling philosophy and cultural identity at the backbone of her practice; Breanna creates work to invoke whimsical awareness and an ethos of care around our shared environmental heritage.
