Kamee Abrahamian STATEMENT Explosive and tactile images of collective memory. These mixed medium collages are contrived of a fragmented spectrum which kaleidoscope as the viewer is hypnotized by images of intimacy within a life of constant travel. The use of collected textiles on her journeys blended with old photographs found under her late grandmother’s bed illuminate the spirit of the decayed, and manifest them into a work that is enchanted. Kamee’s newest collection is an untitled work in progress that blends mainstream pornography with images of outer space. BIO Kamee Abrahamian is a multidisciplinary artist, performer, and curator born in Toronto, Canada. She studied cinema and political science at Concordia University in Montreal where she lived for several years. At present she is developing a body of work called “Lovelinest”, while pursuing her masters at the European Graduate School in expressive arts (EXA). With a focus on the body and the senses, her thesis explores the integration of modern technology and the internet into EXA-based practices. Kamee is mostly nomadic and splits her time on a plethora of endeavors, including a handful of arts based research projects and experimental theatre productions. Since her family founded the Abrahamian Art Centre in Yerevan, she uses both Armenia and Canada as her home base. ARTIST CONTACT [click to email] IMAGES
