We are thrilled to announce Connexion’s artist in residence: Eli Bjedov-Stanković! As the artist in residence, Eli will be exploring papermaking and running workshops that engage with DIY, at-home papermaking techniques. Stay tuned for dates!!! Eli Bjedov-Stanković is a papermaker and fibre artist living and working in Tiohtiá:ke/Montréal, recently graduated from Concordia University. Aside from making paper with others, they are preoccupied with Mystery and transformation - the way that material and Spirit are continuously cycled through the human and more-than-human. Working with local materials, they explore scarcity and abundance in art. They use salvaged, scavenged, and re-transformable materials to explore personal and collective narratives. Working with materials in a circular way, they strive to place their work in a cycle, an inaccessible timeline on which everything moves before being recycled into the Earth. More broadly, their work is informed by body-space relationships, musicians playing together, elaborate costume changes, and death. (fb)
