Biography
Hi! I'm Carmen Mahave, a Toronto-based sculptor, and multimedia artist, specializing in silicone mouldmaking. With a commitment to artistic exploration, I've had the privilege of exhibiting my works at Art Mûr, Beaver Hall Gallery, Propeller Art Gallery, OCAD University, as well as independent shows in Toronto's vibrant art scene, including exhibitions at cafes, tabling events, and private collections. Driven by a deep-seated curiosity of the body as a participatory object in art, I continue to push boundaries in my multimedia practice, exploring the intricacies of the human experience and interaction through my uncanny creations.
