Hand imprints on clay

Ami Kaur Sangha (b.1985) is an artist working within the shared, unceded, ancestral territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. Ami received a BFA from Emily Carr University of Art and Design in 2009, where she majored in printmaking. As an emerging multidisciplinary artist working primarily with clay, Ami is exploring themes of identity, memory, and time immemorial. Working from the capacious and intuitive space that arises from hand building, Ami is using the medium of clay to explore migratory origin stories that leave no trace, within her ancestral familial dynamic and at large. Ami’s work contemplates what happens to the memory of time through sculpture, both now and in the far future.
