SYLVIE STOJANOVSKI

(she/her)

Sylvie Stojanovski (she/her) is an emerging artist, creative-facilitator, and community organizer based in Scarborough, Canada. Currently she is working towards a specialist degree in Arts Management with a minor in Studio Art.

Her creative work explores the myriad of relationships we have with the contemporary natural world--from the transience of reflections on water, to the complexity of memories of the land we hold from childhood. Sylvie is interested in working alongside nature as an active collaborator. During quarantine she started a daily walking practice, in which she began foraging natural materials, and creating ephemeral sculptures. Her art has been featured at a wide range of galleries and festivals both in person and online, including: Artscape Youngplace, Bluffs Gallery, Cedar Ridge Creative Centre, StART Youth Presenting Art Festival and Todmorden Mills Gallery.

Impressions of Place

Impressions of Place is a series of 3 multi-layered, mixed media works that capture the essence of places that I once rarely traversed, but now frequent as a result of COVID-19. Through this series, I was interested in exploring how places imprint themselves in our memory. How can one capture the “feeling” of a place, or the ephemerality of natural changes and moments in time, like leaves changing colour, and reflections dancing on a stream? My final work is an invitation for viewers to contemplate their relationship to the natural world, and reconnect with the nostalgia of places hidden deep within the recesses of our memory.
