Sylvia Ziemann works in sculpture, painting, installation, video and curation. Her studio production consists of miniature installations that incorporate sound and video. She is fascinated with carnivals, end of the world scenarios, survivalist tendencies and the animals who live amongst us.
Recent work concerns humanities’ attempts to cope with environmental and personal catastrophes explored through live action puppet film, drawings and paintings. Current projects explore ideas of dystopia/utopia as possible future worlds.
She holds a Diploma in Painting from ACAD (Alberta University of the Arts), a BFA from NASCAD and MFA from the University of Regina where she teaches painting, drawing and sculpture.
