Morgan Melenka is a visual artist from amiskwacîwâskahikan who has recently relocated to Mohkinstsis (Calgary). She engages with architecture to discuss how artifice functions in our built world, working between sculpture, installation, and printmaking through a constellation of materials that emphasize the veneer, including digitally printed fabric, vinyl, paper, ceramic tiles, mirror, and Formica. In 2021, Melenka exhibited at the Art Gallery of Alberta, the Southern Art Gallery of Alberta, and Plumb Gallery in Toronto. Her work has been exhibited across Canada and in the U.S, including New York, Nebraska, and Tennessee. She holds a MFA from NSCAD University and this past summer she began work as a scenic painter for film and thinks it's pretty cool to learn all the tricks of creating fabricated reality for the screen.
