Artist Bio

Rebecca La Marre is an artist in Saskatoon / Treaty 6, with a writing, making, and performance practice. She uses clay, text, and the human voice to give form to questions about what it means to be a person in the world. She is interested in how the physical, tangible, and repetitive act of transforming material, however humble, can be a spring-board into the life of the mind and language, and how these two worlds are distinct yet entangled at the same time.

The first person to teach her about clay was her grandmother Ellen La Marre, who displayed her work in domestic settings and craft markets. She holds an MFA from Goldsmiths, University of London. Her work is exhibited and published internationally. Venues include the Serpentine Gallery, MOMA PS1, The Western Front, and the Darling Foundry.
