Elisha and Carmen

Carmen Wong is a Chinese Canadian multidisciplinary artist living on the ancestral, unceded territory of the kʷikʷəƛ̓əm (Kwikwetlem) First Nation. She explores a multitude of materials, including sculpture, textiles, painting, and installation. Wong is largely influenced by the many stories she comes across, from folklore to fairy tales, taking inspiration from the environment around her to create her own narratives. In her work, she examines the belief that every aspect of life can become their own story and that everything can be combined to open countless doors connecting new narratives for her to explore.

Elisha Wang is an interdisciplinary artist born and raised in China, who is now based in Vancouver, within the unceded traditional territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. Her artistic practice encompasses a profound exploration of themes such as identity, self-expression, and the intricate dimensions of perception through the lenses of space and time. At present, Wang's artistic practice predominantly revolves around the creation of mixed media drawings, digital works, and film photography.
