Lower Toronto Route
Andria Keen
Exhibited artist: Andria Keen
Curated by: Carrier Bag Collective
Andria Keen (she/her) is currently completing her MFA in Visual Art at York University. She received her BFA from OCAD University’s Cross-Disciplinary Life Studies program and was the recipient of their 2023 Bluma Appel Award.
Consumed by ‘how’ and why we exist, Andria’s often labour-intensive work engages themes of temporality, cyclicality, and inclusion of the natural world by utilizing abstraction, figuration, and narratives such as fable to question our perspectives and place in relation to nature, ourselves and how we inhabit deep-time, both past and future.
***

The alley intersects with Dundas Street west (south side) and Palmerston Ave (West side). The entrance is not through the house on 100 Palmerston Ave.
Duration: 2 hours
Andria Keen will give participants an introduction to soapstone carving. Using pre-cut pieces of stone, attendees will learn the basics of carving and leave with their very own miniature sculpture and polishing kit. Tools will be provided.
