Join current artist-in-residence Emily Neufeld to learn more about what she has been up to throughout her time at Griffin Art Projects!

“Throughout my residency I will be working on casting some sculptures in gypsum cement and in cold cast bronze. The sculptures are composed of natural items mixed with construction materials, including both soft, fragile objects and hard surfaces. I will also be doing research into resource extraction towns across BC and some processes and techniques I want to use in making work in these mining and pulp and paper ghost towns in the coming months.” - Emily Neufeld

Emily Neufeld was born in Alberta, on Treaty 6 and 7 land, and now lives and works on the unceded territory of the Squamish, T’seil Waututh and Musqueum in North Vancouver. Her practice investigates place and how humans change and are changed by the surrounding environment, and the layers of memory and psychic history that accumulate in our material world. In addition to collaborative projects with other artists, recent solo exhibitions include Before Demolition: Tides (2019, Eyelevel Gallery, Halifax, NS), Motherlands (The Pole, Den Haag, ND), Before Demolition (2017: Burrard Arts Foundation), and Picture Window (2016: Vancouver Heritage Foundation), a large-scale billboard on the CBC Wall in downtown Vancouver. From August - October 2020 Emily presented a solo exhibition, Prairie Invasions: A Lullaby, at the Richmond Art Gallery. Neufeld has created and participates in community sharing gardens, and sees land as fundamental to her research process. She received her BFA from Emily Carr University of Art and Design in 2013.
