Tegan Moore
Sunday, March 29, 2009
Tegan Moore is a Vancouver based artist born in Toronto. She could be described as a bricoleur with rose coloured glasses, working mainly with found material saved from disposable inevitability. Her sculptural work evokes responsiveness to a variety of phenomena including, perceptions of beauty and fragility in polar regions, emotional responses to weather, and common capitalist habits of valuing objects. With inquiry into memory, mimesis, and notions of the everyday, she is interested in participating in poetic challenges regarding how objects are contemplated.
Tegan Moore graduated from Emily Carr Institute with a BFA in 2008. She has exhibited in Vancouver at Winsor Gallery, Zulu Records, and Helen Pitt Gallery, where she also held the position of student curator for the school year of 2007-2008. She was a recipient of CASV’s Emerging Artist Award in 2008.
