Biography

Victoria Verge is a multi-medium artist whose current practice is based in sculpture, installation, and painting. She obtained her BFA in Visual Arts from Memorial University of Newfoundland in 2015 and is currently working on her MFA at UBC Okanagan. Her creative endeavours are deeply informed by her personal history. Guided by the recurrent theme of relocation, stemming from her father’s military service, Verge’s work is actively navigating the multifaceted construct of ‘home’. Her upbringing, marked by frequent moves during her formative years, has afforded her a familiarity with the emotional dynamics of displacement and the persistent yearning for stability. Verge’s work examines this nuanced interplay intrinsic to housing and relocation. Employing a diverse range of materials and techniques, she captures the tension between emotional vulnerability and resilience, thereby illuminating the intricate relationship between human sentiment, the spaces we inhabit, and the communities that we build.
