Maggie Groat

Bio:

Maggie Groat is an artist based in Niagara, Canada. She uses a range of media including works on paper, sculpture, textiles, site-specific interventions, and publications to interrogate methodologies of collage. Her research surrounds site-responsiveness with regards to shifting territories, alternative, and decolonial ways-of-being, and the transformation of salvaged materials into utilitarian objects for speculation, vision, and action. Groat’s approaches and perspectives are informed by her Skarú:ręʔ and settler backgrounds, her role as a mother, and the environmental impacts of the Anthropocene.
