Victoria Cote is a recent graduate from the Undergraduate program in Visual Arts at the University of Ottawa. She was honored by Artengine for her work in the media arts, and her contribution to the graduating class show.
My abstract sculptural installation Untitled (pillars) explores and emphasizes the quality and texture of acrylic plexiglass tubing. By challenging the material and depicting its visual characteristics in different ways, I am able to encourage the viewer to more closely analyze the work. The repetitive process in which I work culminates in organic shapes and abstract sculptural forms.

DAVID ROKEBY’S Very Nervous System @ CUAG and 3 Questions with Curator, Jesse Stewart
December 8th, 2010First impression of Very Nervous System by David Rokeby, currently on view at CUAG: I’ve seen this before. It took me a few hours and eventually giving in to a quick Google search (a functioning external memory for many of us) to realize that I’d seen Very Nervous System at an exhibition in Linz, Austria […]
