Tanya Doody is an interdisciplinary artist who works in ceramics, performance, sculpture, and video. Her work proposes strategies of embodiment through performative acts, poetic gestures and object making. Drawing attention to our sense of touch and tactile experience is way to reconnect the body to itself, its environment and to others. Tanya Doody holds an MFA from the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design University in Fine and Media Arts, a BFA from University of Victoria in Visual Arts, a Diploma from Sheridan College in Crafts and Design (Ceramics), and a Diploma of Fine Craft (Ceramics) from the New Brunswick College of Craft and Design. She lives and works on traditional Blackfoot Confederacy territory, Treaty 7, in Lethbridge, Alberta.
