Pizza Box Sculpture Workshop with Eliot White-Hill, Kwulasultun.
Tuesday, May 26 | 5:30pm to 7:30pm | Free, RSVP required.
At grunt gallery
Come have a slice of pizza on us and join artist Eliot White-Hill, Kwulasultun for a workshop on making sculptures out of pizza boxes! Email katrina@grunt.ca to register, space is limited. Cardboard cutters and mats will be provided.
Eliot White-Hill, Kwulasultun’s three cardboard sculptures in our current exhibition, As In a Body, respond to an archeological dig that took place on Gabriola Island, territory of the Snuneymuxw First Nation to which Eliot belongs, and historical Salish art. A critique of appropriation of Indigenous forms and playing with the absurdity of artifacts as a concept, Eliot worked with pizza box cardboard as an artifact of his own life.
Eliot White-Hill, Kwulasultun (he/they) is a Coast Salish and Nuu Chah Nulth artist and storyteller from the Snuneymuxw First Nation. His family has roots in Penelakut, Hupacasath and further abroad up and down the Northwest Coast. His interdisciplinary art practice is rooted in honouring and celebrating the teachings and stories passed down by his family, community, and culture. His practices include digital art, painting, sculpture, creative writing, public installation, and curation. He currently resides on the unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm, Sḵwx̱wú7mesh, and səlilwətaɬ peoples. Eliot loves Hawaiian pizza from Domino’s!
