Current Residents
Artist in Residence Program
Charley Young (April 29 - May 30, 2012)
Charley
Young is an interdisciplinary artist working in printmaking, drawing,
installation and mixed media. She is predominantly interested in
creating large scale, site-specific, ephemeral artwork involving
historic buildings that respond to the ever-adapting city. Her work
deals with themes of destruction, loss, memory and architecture. Deeply
rooted in research, these projects showcase the fleetingness of
architecture and therefore our own identity and histories.
While she is in Dawson, Charley will continue to explore these
themes while working on a large scale, frottaged print of Dawson City's
old gold-rush era buildings.
Originally from Calgary, Alberta,
CHARLEY YOUNG moved to Halifax, Nova Scotia where she completed a
Bachelor of Fine Arts at NSCAD University. Following that Charley worked
to develop engaging youth arts programming at NSCAD University. Young
has exhibited around Halifax, and has worked with a variety of heritage
groups to preserve, in print, the memory and architecture of heritage
properties. This spring, Charley will be starting her MFA degree at the
Maine College of Art in Portland Maine. Charley has also been awarded a
residency at the Vermont Studio Center schedule for this upcoming
February.
