Victoria is a writer, new media artist and aspiring curator,
interested in exploring intersections of the ontology of art and aesthetics. Emphasizing the crucial role of imagination in the creation and reception, her work often constructs lucid illusions and alternative perceptive realities of being and what it is to be right now. Critiquing fragments of life through art and text, Victoria offers new meaning on what it means to be conceptual. She meets us in a place where theoretical agitation segways aesthetic construction, where art becomes an alternative sentiment, a mystical application of poetry; evoking awareness of experience(s) and an emotional, spiritual, and physical response; As a deliberate poetic device.
Obtaining her bachelors from OCAD University in Toronto, she majored in Criticism and Curatorial Practices where she explored different models of art criticism and writing, alongside contemporary curatorial frameworks for: exhibition, public installation, public event, performance, and web.
Her thesis work was a multi-thread of consciousness, exploring generations of transgressive womanhood through the artistic era of Surrealism. A fictional manifesto served as the vehicle for these inter-generational musings on life, being, and art. Through discursive prose and experimental use of footnotes and endnotes, the form itself challenged oppressive systems and structures of writing as the women in her thesis, challenged femininity and Freudian ideology.
