Tricia Wasney: May 19, 2022 at 7pm
Pet Hair, Push Pins & Packing Peanuts: Using Reclaimed Material

Scouring thrift store shelves and recycling bins, Tricia Wasney’s illustrated talk explores the treasures to be found in reclaimed, recycled and sustainable materials. Through her narrative jewellery and showing the work of fellow artists, Tricia brings attention to the climate crisis while demonstrating the whimsical possibilities of using otherwise throw-away materials.

Tricia Wasney’s work is informed by the landscape, scientific research and forgotten histories. Her studies in landscape architecture, literature and film impacts her art work which investigates ideas through narrative jewellery and craft-based practices, referencing historical methods and employing diverse materials and techniques. More and more she is incorporating recycled, thrifted and otherwise waste materials into her work. Wasney has participated in artist residencies in Belfast, Northern Ireland, Churchill, Manitoba and Riding Mountain National Park. Her work has been exhibited at C2 Centre for Craft, The Buhler Gallery, and the Alberta Craft Council with upcoming shows at the School of Art Gallery at the University of Manitoba and Milan Jewellery Week in Milan, Italy. She has received numerous grants for her art work from the Winnipeg Arts Council, the Manitoba Arts Council and the Canada Council for the Arts.
