Rae shifts perspectives by exploring how societies old and new deal with social inequalities, gender identification, ageism, rape, plague and political upheavals. A professional clay sculptor before studying goldsmithing and the metal arts, Shona Rae received her Diploma in applied art and design from the Kootenay School of the Arts (1998) and her BFA from the Alberta University of the Arts (2000). During the pandemic Shona followed ‘…the paths of her dreams - incorporating highways of felt…’ into a new series of sculptures which are featured in her exhibition. Find out more about Shona and her inspirations for Converse Subversives on Monday March 13 at 7pm MST.
