"My drawings and paintings produce multiple readings. I seek to identify the unknowable, and in doing so, it constructs itself as form. Voice, artifice, and articulation are components of my poetics."

La Melia (b. 1982, Palermo, Italy) is a Vancouver based artist whose practice involves several mediums, including writing, paiting, sculpture, and performance. Her work is featured in the current issue of Pyramid Power. In 2010, she attended the Banff Residency Figure in a Mountain Landscape (Reprise) with Silke Otto-Knapp. She is currently a Masters of Fine Arts candidate at the University of Guelph.
