ARTIST STATEMENT:

Etty Anderson is a multi disciplinary queer artist, with their main focus on ceramic arts. Etty’s work plays with colour and form, building on architectural structure and histories of craft in different mediums. Sitting on the outside of the traditional education framework, Etty has a bank of knowledge from many different learned skills and experiences. Their conceptual practice pulls on the tension between art, craft, queerness and class, dancing between the shifting chords of those traditions and histories.
Etty is a queer, non binary trans, white Canadian settler. They live and work in Montréal Canada.

BIO:

I am a self taught, multidisciplinary queer artist working primarily in ceramics. I have been creating ceramic works as my primary profession for 9 years, and started learning ceramics in 2011. Primarily a wheel thrower, I teach at the Visual Arts Centre in Montréal. I have had works in multiple disciplines shown in North America and Europe the last decade. My work ranges from music, illustration, photography, ceramics and the culinary arts. I have a close connection with my culinary projects and my ceramics. I have been running an underground supper club in Vancouver, New York and Montreal over the past 18 years. My book, Vegan Secret Supper: Bold Recipes from a Rogue Kitchen (Arsenal Pulp 2013) is a collection of recipes from that supper club.

Year-Long Artist: September 2024 – July 2025
