Hi! I’m Tiffany Tremaine
I’m an artist located in Toronto, ON Canada. My work focus's on life and all of it's little things. I am curious about exploring life as it becomes archive. Using my work as I create it, and from my own archive as it ages. I examines patterns in how things evolve, to uncover the mysteries in my morals, ethics, and emotional evolution. Examining these archives, I speak, shout, and whisper prose from a self-portrait lens to look into living memorial.
I am currently a freelance artist, exploring music photography, self portraiture and poetry while working full-time. I am working on a novella of poems, poetry and illustrations I expect to publish in 2024. I recently attended OCAD University of Art and Design, receiving a Bachelors of Fine Arts (BFA) in the Life Studies program with Honours and Distinction in 2019. Prior to OCAD U, I studied at H.B. Beal Secondary School in London Ontario, completing the BEALART interdisciplinary program, as well as a year of specialization in Photography and Painting. My work has been featured in publications, and small gallery shows, and I aspire to create or join a collective of like-minded individuals, and practice art full-time.
Notably, my collaborative project "Bio Furniture Inc" was preformed with Ahlena Sultana McGarry, Bracha Stettin, and Chris Liethead at the MOMA as Part of the Bio Design Challenge in 2017. "Bio Furniture Inc" was also displayed as an installation at the SVA(School of Visual Arts) in Manhattan.
I work in interdisciplinary media, prominently photography, poetry, interactive time-based media, video, sculpture and installation.I recently showed my largest work to date in OCAD U's Grad Ex 104 in May 2019. My thesis work in completing her BFA, "Just Another Little Thing, Hanging Over Your Head" focuses on my written archives, coming to terms with the past, and primarily explores destruction as a form of creation.
