Join us in welcoming Maggie Groat to Emily Carr University as a resident of the Audain Distinguished Artist -In -Residence Program. Maggie Groat is a visual artist working in a variety of media including collage, sculpture, artists’ books, site-specific interventions, and field studies. Forming an ongoing research-based practice, Groat’s work explores studies for possible futures, salvage practices, and relationships and reconnections to place and ancient knowledge systems, from an indigenous perspective. Through reconfiguring and recontextualizing found materials, she assembles collages, sculptures and tools that enable moments of envisioning and the potential for action. Maggie studied visual art and philosophy at York University before attending The University of Guelph, where she received an MFA degree in 2010. She is represented by Erin Stump Projects in Toronto. Maggie currently lives on the southern shore of Lake Ontario. Maggie is currently teaching four studio courses at Emily Carr and welcomes office visits with any interested students.
