Interview:
Kasie Campbell is an award-winning visual artist working out of Edmonton, AB. In 2015, she received her Bachelor of Fine Arts, majoring in Sculpture at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, AB. Campbell’s work integrates a variety of media including sculpture, photography, and installation with performative means. Themes of the abject and simultaneous tensions around beauty and the grotesque, surrounding the female body have been major points of interest in her work. Campbell’s most recent series of works titled Milk Diaries 2020 began three months postpartum as a way to document life postpartum, anxieties around motherhood and life in COVID19. Milk Diaries has been a way to publicly navigate intense waves of grief over the loss of my mum, infertility/miscarriage, a fear of dying and postpartum struggles. Notably, Campbell has exhibited her work throughout Canada and internationally at Grounds for Sculpture (south of NYC), Mana Contemporary in Hamilton, NJ, Mana Contemporary in Chicago, IL, New York City at the Westbeth Gallery, Viljandi, Estonia and most recently the Ottawa School of Art in Ottawa, ON.
