ON VIEW

Marika St. Rose Yeo ( B. 1992, Regina, Saskatchewan Canada ) is a ceramicist, whose works and research are concerned with healing, justice and transformation through creative practice, and examining how these allow us to generate possibilities for alternative futures, outside the systems of harm we find ourselves in. St. Rose Yeo works primarily using both fired and unfired ceramics, creating forms that are constructed with fragile layers and cracks.

St. Rose Yeo’s carving patterns on the the surface of her ceramic vessels, referencing floral and textile designs from the Caribbean, West Africa and Western Europe. The piecing together of such forms represent her multicultural heritage and the desire to understand the layers and pieces of her histories and cultures.
