“Elaine Cameron-Weir’s material transformations reference, eschew, and play with these sticky meanings to reveal the invisible traces of power that dance around every aspect of our lives.”
Elaine Cameron-Weir
Elaine Cameron-Weir is a Canadian artist based in New York. Her work is informed by the array of systems and
structures that humans have created to deal with the unknown – be that through scientific inquiry, religion, modes of governance or creative practices. Her sculptures incorporate objects repurposed from their scientific, medical, military or faith-giving functions into reliquaries or representations of larger systems of belief and power.
