Installation

about

Kendra Yee is a Toronto-based artist, designer, and curator. Her work consists of mixed- media paintings, ceramic sculptures, and panel-based illustrations. Through the investigation of these mediums, she seeks to question the relationship of co-existing opposites and negotiate these spaces to find balanced chaos. Yee pulls tales from her personal history, lived experiences and collective memory to form speculative worlds where fluid characters come to life through the conversations of interactive bodies.

Recreating a hell landscape, Pit serves as a place which allows demons to exist as they are. This is a dimension that embraces the complexities of good versus evil, a room filled with both purgatorial and comical sensations. By combining creatures found in external and personal mythology, Pit gives life to new spirits that represent untold experiences. Throughout this installation, viewers will discover projection mapping, digital tapestries, steel carvings, and found objects.
