kristine zingeler
Kristine Zingeler pursues an inter-disciplinary art practice that involves photography, collage, drawing, painting, and sculpture. She holds a BFA in Painting from the University of Calgary and has furthered her education through skill sharing, residencies, and experimentation. Her work is included in the collection of the Alberta Foundation for the Arts as well as the Fairmont Palliser Hotel and the University of Calgary Faculty of Medicine along with numerous private collections. Addressing themes of interconnectedness, time, and the relentless state of flux that both humanity and our planet experience, Kristine’s work is subtle yet impactful and relies on an extensive process of collecting, documenting, and assembling. Throughout her practice runs a thread of curiosity and enthusiasm for the seemingly mundane. She elevates rocks, feathers, nests, insects, plants and other apparent detritus to a place of preciousness. Beginning her career working two dimensionally in painting, photography, and collage, she has expanded to explore a more sculptural means of expression. Her new body of work pushes back and forth between image and object, ancient and immediate, tiny and monumental. You can find her quietly working in Moh’kinstsis Treaty 7 Territory.
