Ciara Trapp (she/her) is an emerging Queer printmaker and photo-based artist on Treaty 4 Territory working towards her BFA in Visual Arts with a minor in English at the University of Regina. Through traditional, experimental, and reflexive photo and printmaking methods, Trapp 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.
