Water Boat (Antarctica) Drawing

Toronto-based multi-media artist Margie Kelk takes an exploratory and experimental approach as she appropriates and reconstructs visual fragments of ideas through diverse media that include ceramic, bronze and aluminum sculpture, drawing, painting, and animation. UnderSee (2018), an animated film co-directed by Margie Kelk and Lynne Slater has been screened in over sixty-five film festivals nationally and internationally including the Philip K. Dick Science Fiction Film Festival, Orange County Museum of Art, Santa Ana, California, USA; Beyond the Curve International Film Festival, Hôtel Paris Lafayette, Paris, France; and the Portugal International Film Festival at the Pestana Palacio do Freixo, Porto, Portugal. Margie Kelk’s first award-winning stop-motion animated film, Substratae (2015) has been featured in over seventy film festivals nationally and internationally including The New Renaissance Film Festival, London, UK; and the New York State International Film Festival, in Albany, New York. Recent exhibitions include In:FLUX, at the Red Head Gallery. The exhibition will continue into 2021, and features a 3D visual tour available on Kelk’s website.
