Emilie Kvist

I am interested in how traditional concepts of print media can be expanded beyond the edition to include sculpture, installation, performance, and community. How can methods of print media be fundamentally challenged through means of experimental processes and post-print creation? In my recent practice, I have become interested in creating works around topics of time in relation to memory, and labour through means of creative performance.

Emilie Kvist is an interdisciplinary artist with a passion for print media, sculpture, and installation. She holds a Bachelor of Arts with a focus in history, and a Bachelor of Fine Arts with a focus in visual arts from the University of the Fraser Valley, British Columbia. In addition to her printmaking practice, Kvist has also spent the last few years working in the culture sector though education, programming, outreach, and curatorially-based positions. More recently, in 2022, she engaged with the public by leading a community-based project installation called Into Nature as one of eight BC Culture Days Ambassadors for the province British Columbia.
