Join Exhibiting Artist Kaitlyn Konkin for an artist talk in conjunction with her exhibition, prop your limbs
prop your limbs engages with themes of documentation and memory – questioning the relationship between truth and fabrication in our understanding of the familiar. Leaning on printmaking’s ability for layering and repetition, the resulting work both reveals and conceals, distorting the clarity and accuracy that we assume vision to bring. Figures, at times warped and stretching, also fall into focus – building on a collection of images and memories that echo intimacy, alienation, unease and tenderness.
Kaitlyn Konkin (b.2001) is driven by her fascination with the ways we depict, scrutinize and understand bodies. She was born in Edmonton, Alberta, on Treaty 6 lands and holds a BFA from the University of Alberta.Â
Working between printmaking, drawing and painting, her practice often engages with the abstraction and misrepresentation of familiar scenes and distorted memories. Much of her inspiration is drawn from the natural world, where ecosystems operate as intricate collections in their own right. She often looks to the structures, rhythms, and textures found in nature as guiding elements in her work. This attentiveness to organic forms informs her visual language, grounding it in both observation and transformation.Â
