Artist Statement

Shirley Wiebe is a self-taught interdisciplinary artist. She has a keen interest in site-specific and project-based work. Her focus is on the interrelationship of physical geography and the built environment. Wiebe’s research develops through investigations of place, history and materials in her two-dimensional and sculptural work. She pursues something inherently mysterious in objects and materials. Her layered constructions push past limits of the medium into new realms of dream and drama, memory and chance, meaning and oblivion.
