Kaitlin Mason
Kaitlin Mason is a BFA graduate from NSCAD University in Halifax, Nova Scotia, where she earned an interdisciplinary degree. She now resides near Toronto, where she continues to exhibit in galleries and art fairs across the region. Mason’s work is derived from the ornamentation as well as its “free form” essence as simply a piece of cloth, her work investigates the figure and the vacancy of human presence as a purposely arranged garment. It is within these details that are carefully arranged and rendered, that she experiences juxtaposition with herself and the scarf. These works are referred to as “entities” as they are representational of the ambiguous human figure. The delicacy of the materials creates a feminine sensibility expressing the carefully constructed and scrutinized images women often portray to society. They are distinct, independent and self-‐contained beings.
