Ciara Trapp

Ciara Trapp (she/her) is a queer photo-based artist and printmaker on Treaty 4 Territory working towards her BFA in Visual Arts with a minor in English at the University of Regina. Through reflexive, traditional, and experimental photo and printmaking methods, Trapp explores the intersections of material labour, land, resistance, and what it means to be a working-class settler on stolen land. Her work also explores process as a means for inner work. In particular, when dealing with anticipatory, collective, and disenfranchised grief. By offering her emotions and memories a place to live on paper or other matrices, especially through time-intensive techniques, she hopes to find some semblance of consolation and quietude for what she once carried.
