| ARTIST BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH: | Yvonne Mullock is an artist and graduate from Glasgow School of Art, currently based in Mohkinstsis/Calgary, Alberta, Treaty 7 Territory and the Metis Nation Region 3, Canada. Employing textiles, sculpture, video, print and ceramics her practice reflects on the making process by amplifying the performative labour in hand-made production through installations and performances. By borrowing from craft practices and cross-disciplinary methodologies, she reimagines a world where functionality is pliable and materials are considered with renewed potential. While incorporating a wide range of researched references, Mullock’s work draws upon empirical knowledge within the making process and in doing so animates the traditions that surround the objects she creates to comedic and uncanny effect.
Over two decades she has participated in artist-in-residence programmes within Scotland, England, Canada, and the United States and shown in group and solo exhibitions in Oregon, Calgary, Toronto, Fogo Island, Medicine Hat, Kentucky and Glasgow. Mullock has been awarded grants from the Alberta Foundation for the Arts, Canada Council for the Arts, Calgary Society of Independent Filmmakers and in 2017 was the recipient of the Alberta Foundation for the Arts International Studio Curatorial Program residency in New York, USA. Her work is featured in both private and the public collections of the Alberta Foundation for the Arts and the Glenbow Museum, Calgary, Canada.
