Tammy Salzl, a Canadian multimedia marvel with a flair for storytelling, joins us for episode 8 of the Artalogue! Tammy tracks her journey from reading her brother's comic book stash as a child to her latest solo show at the Vernon Public Art Gallery. Salzl walks us through her evolution from drawing to her current award-winning, multimedia approach. Through installation, film, painting and sculpting, Salzl's latest body of work burrows inside of you like a beautiful parasite. Salzl's work teeters between beautiful and beastly, often prompting the viewer to draw their own line between these supposed polarities. Her art, steeped in folklore and camp aesthetics, serves as a mirror reflecting the human condition and the rawness of life. Beale quizzes Salzl on the origins of the her favourite work by the artist, “The Compromise” (2011), a piece inspired by environmental impacts on male fertility and the choices we are faced with in an imagined future dystopia. We explore how folklore and myths often expose our deepest fears and desires, and how Salzl translates this into her work.
