Eva Kolcze

Eva Kolcze, a Toronto-based artist, explores the fluidity of time and its expression in natural and built spaces through projects involving geology, architecture, and the environment. Her work incorporates material explorations with analog film, fabric, and digital imagery. Her work has been exhibited at the National Gallery of Canada, Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal (MAC), MOCA Toronto, the Gardiner Museum, Nuit Blanche, Cinémathèque québécoise, Birch Contemporary, and the Images Festival. She holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts from OCAD University and a Master of Fine Arts from York University.

Charged Particles is a series of lens-based works that explore limestone’s relationship to geological time and its long-standing connection to resource extraction.

The project will feature images of limestone from various organic, urban and industrial sites. Multiple municipal buildings within Toronto, Ottawa and Quebec have a limestone facade that was extracted from the Queenston Quarry in the Niagara region, a once significant supplier of building stone that is currently being redeveloped into residences and parkland. 

Charged Particles will support continued work with digital and analog images, expanding manipulation techniques while advancing geological research and experimentation with new materials and methods.
