Lindsay Chambers

Lindsay Chambers’ work explores aspects of the human condition through paper and its primary function to facilitate a human need to communicate emotion, thoughts, values and knowledge with others. Chambers seeks to create a dialogue with the viewer through her paintings of crumpled paper sculptures that foreground a manipulation of material and colour. As she describes:

“With or without obvious markings upon its surface, crumpled and discarded or particularly arranged, there is an understanding that a piece of paper has been created and influenced in content, form and gesture by its previous handler. Paper is made for our manipulation, and my work explores this relationship.”

Chambers holds an Honours Bachelor of Art in Fine Arts and Psychology from the University of Waterloo, a Post-­Graduate Certificate in 3D Broadcast Animation and Design from Humber College and a Bachelor of Education from the University of Windsor. Her work is held in collections across Canada, as well as internationally in the United States, United Kingdom, Dubai, New Zealand, Australia and Japan.
