Synopsis:
Sage joined me from beautiful Salt Spring Island. We had a very interesting chat about her theme - human impact on the environment as well as artist residencies, public art and her next project about "invasive" species.
About the Artist:
Sage Szkabarnicki-Stuart is a 24 year-old emerging photographer living in Toronto. She mostly uses herself as the subject of her photographs, which is both vain and necessary because she is alone a lot of the time. She is completely self-taught.
Sage’s work focuses on how humans interact with their home environment. The central question of her work is: what defines a place as home? One way to try and answer this is by highlighting aspects of the day-to-day that are embedded in routine. Through her photographs Sage hopes to give the viewer a new sense of appreciation and awareness for the place they call home.
Sage graduated with a degree in animation from Concordia University in 2018. Her work has been recently exhibited at Art Toronto and the Toronto Outdoor Art Fair where she won both the Honourable Mention: Student and Emerging Artists by Emerging Curator awards. She is currently resident artist at the Living Arts Centre in Mississauga.
