Toronto, Ontario

Andria Keen (she/her) is currently completing her MFA in Visual Art at York University. She received her BFA from OCAD University’s Cross-Disciplinary Life Studies program and was the recipient of their 2023 Bluma Appel Award. Consumed by ‘how’ and why we exist, Andria’s often labour-intensive work engages themes of temporality, cyclicality, and inclusion of the natural world by utilizing abstraction, figuration, and narratives such as fable to question our perspectives and place in relation to nature, ourselves and how we inhabit deep-time, both past and future.
