Alexia McKindsey

Montreal-based paper artist Alexia McKindsey explores the potential of domestic life and its artefacts through the incorporation of painted collaged fragments and craft-based processes. With a Fine Arts degree from Concordia University (QC), she is inspired by the spaces she has inhabited—spaces rich in familial narrative, heritage, and history. She is interested in how our homes reflect the collective identity and mythologies spanning the generations of a family. In her work, she can bring together these memories in a single dreamlike space in which several eras can coexist. She has participated in several exhibitions, including the Festival Art Souterrain (QC), ARTCH (QC), and presented her first solo exhibition Et la tourterelle chante à jamais at Galerie AVE (QC).
