Alicia Proudfoot is an interdisciplinary artist with a penchant to modify formal training in sculpture, printmaking, and performance through audience-engaging prompts. Experimentation is a valuable component of her creative research about humor’s role in a somatic archive on illness. Alicia received a BFA from the University of Alberta in 2016 and graduated with an MFA from NSCAD University in 2019. Her work thrives alongside community engagement. She has permanent public artwork at the Performing Arts Theatre in Hinton, AB, and other haptic commissions through New Music Edmonton, the Silver Skate Festival, and The Works in Edmonton. Alicia has exhibited across Canada with some international opportunities through an internship at Franconia Sculpture Park, MN, USA; a group exhibition with Hernandez Gallery in Milan, IT; and a recent residency with the Digital Stone Project in Gramolazzo, IT, where she learned to robotically carve marble sculptures.
