👋 Say hi to hobbyistbrand, one of this year’s STEPS Public Art Residency artists working on a project in Calgary! Arianna Richardson is a sculptor, performance artist, and sewist using hobby-craft techniques and discarded things, like plastic waste and thrifted materials, to create innovative and maximalist functional works. Focusing on the intersections between environmentalism, materiality, domestic labour, consumerism, and spectacle, Richardson turns “trash” into a unique commentary on consumer culture–from garbage to plastic parties! 😀 Follow along to see the magic she creates for the residency! 🗑️ Consumption Therapy Chamber, Plastic Party by Arianna Richardson The 2025 STEPS Public Art Residency is made possible by the support from td_canada through the TD Ready Commitment. #STEPSPublicArt #STEPSImpact #PublicArt #STEPSResidencies #ArtistInResidence #ArtistResidency #ArtResidency #ArtProgram #CanadianArtist #CanadaArt #ArtInstallation #CalgaryArt #Crafting #MaximalistAr...
