Statement
Angie Heintz is a Canadian artist who holds a BFA in Visual Arts from Emily Carr University of Art and Design.
Angie's compositions are keepers of memory, capturing the nuances of places both real and imagined through layers of medium and playful palettes. Her artistic practice includes sculpture, collage and printmaking, with a focus on painting.
Angie’s work is centered around themes of her Scottish and German settler heritage. Her most recent work explores the temporal nature of occupancy and the resilience of both people and nature. Looking at the dispossession of land from the Japanese in Canada and her family's connection to this history.
The building of home and the traces of what came before underpin her artistic practice. While meditating on themes of transparency, settlement, dwelling and belonging.
Her artwork examines the emotional attachment to dwellings and the complexities of land that has been settled and unsettled.
