Our featured artist today is Wynne Palmer! Wynne’s work uses varied mediums that often come in the form of installations with audio-visual, electronic, and digital components. Many of Wynne’s works focus on senses of identity and technology within a collective consciousness.

I can see a thread of interest in WWII and pre-WWII life in a few of Wynne’s works, one which explores the “Keep on and Carry on” propaganda message and the way it has been diluted and distorted through modern uses – and another which explores the use of spy code in the same era. I really like these explorations of different means of communication in a necessarily mistrustful society.

On her portfolio website, Wynne also looks at abstract photography and digital work, which comes as no surprise considering the artist holds two BFA’s – one in graphic design and photography and one in visual art. Wynne is currently an artist in residence with the Vancouver Parks Board in Vancouver, BC.
