Frances Adair Mckenzie is a sculptor and animator based in Tiohtià:ke/Montreal. She holds a BFA from Concordia University and is a current MFA student at Virginia Commonwealth University in Sculpture and Extended Media. Adair’s research into sculpture, digital materiality and its conceptual realms is expanded through rigorous studio practice and constant exploration of new technology and tools. How technology sees and influences the way we see is central to her thinking and practice. Experiments with stop-motion, 3D animation, virtual reality and stereoscopy leak out into her sculptural work. This digital foraging leads to questions regarding the stability of identity, production and consumption of desire and the surface tension between digital interfaces and architectural space.
