Lorelle Diane Whittingham's art revolves around identity and emotion, drawing inspiration from her first-generation Canadian background and Mauritian and Jamaican heritage. While her sculptural practice delves into themes of gender, race, and trauma, her work is a tool for empowerment. Lorelle views her work as an important part of self-care, self-compassion, and healing. She uses unconventional materials, such as clay, light, and found objects to create objects that are often playful and celebrate imperfections and individuality. Lorelle invites viewers on an emotional journey, aiming to provoke creative expression and societal change.
