About the Presenter:

Malina Izumi Sintnicolaas is a mixed media artist and educator currently based in Vancouver, British Columbia – the traditional and ancestral territories of the Coast Salish Peoples. With a practice focused mostly in ceramic and fibre sculpture, her works are considered to be manifestations, transmutations or “petrifications” of emotions into a physical form. Drawn to tactile materials, her work is questioning ways in which one can represent emotions such as depression, trauma and anxiety with a physical form and in what ways can one induce empathy for an object even if that object is alien or abstract. Working with texture, surface, material properties and form, her sculptures are bodily, visceral and drive to evoke feeling from the viewer, using affect to create an empathic landscape that will urge an understanding for states of mind which are difficult to be described verbally.

She received her B.F.A from York University, and completed her Master of Fine Arts at Emily Carr University of Art and Design. She has shown her work in solo and group exhibitions within Canada and the United States including the Burrard Arts Foundation in Vancouver, BC, Art Mur in Montreal, Sculptor’s Alliance NYC and the Canadian Sculpture Centre in Toronto, ON. She is also the recipient of the 2019 Audain Travel Award, the Won Lee Scholarship of the Sculptor’s Society of Canada and the 2022 BC Arts Council Project Assistant Grant respectively. Malina is currently teaching studio art at the Richmond Arts Centre and Port Moody Arts Centre.
