Olivia Mossuto is an emerging artist, curator, and writer based in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. Her practice engages painting, sculpture, and installation as a way to conceptualize affective and intimate encounters with beings, images, and objects. Her work interrogates how our memories function and what remains when memory fails. In more oblique ways, these ideas coalesce with topics of kitsch, craft, grief, and nature.
Olivia has exhibited work in London, UK (Buster Mantis, Cookhouse Gallery), London, Ontario, Canada (Good Sport, Satellite Project Space), and Toronto, Canada (VSVSVS Project Space, Remote Gallery). She is currently completing her MA in Fine Art at Chelsea College of Art Design in London, UK, and is one-half of The Last Cochineal - a collective and transtemporal supper club organized in tandem with UK-based artist Holly English. She completed her BFA with Honours Specialization in Studio Art at Western University in London, Ontario. Olivia is also a contributing editor for the Embassy Cultural House and participated in the ECH's first virtual exhibit Hiding in Plain Sight. Please visit her website for more information. |
