Peel(Day 008 of 200)

Ellen Bleiwas is a visual artist working primarily in sculpture and installation. Her practice is rooted in space, slowness, and sensory perception, often drawing upon textural materiality, minimalist geometry, overwhelming repetition, and a fulsome emptiness. She holds an MFA from York University, and a Master of Architecture from McGill University. She has participated in artist residencies including the NARS Foundation (New York), Robert McLaughlin Gallery (Oshawa), Studio Faire (Nérac, France), Artscape Gibraltar Point (Toronto), and Takt Kunstprojektraum (Berlin). She has exhibited at galleries including The Plumb (Toronto), Galerie And (Berlin), The Robert McLaughlin Gallery (Oshawa), and Idea Exchange (Cambridge). Her practice has been supported through grants and awards from the Canada Council for the Arts, Ontario Arts Council, Toronto Arts Council, Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, 401 Richmond Career Launcher Prize, and the RBC Foundation
