Melanie Aikenhead
Aikenhead has a strong focus on urban environments where she seeks out the evidence of aging and change in neighbourhoods in transition. Her cityscapes often depict how industry, people and built environments relate to one another and gradually change over time. She describes her practice as a study of place and time and an examination of resistance and resignation. Aikenhead finds her subject matter in her own Calgary neighbourhood, urban environments undergoing planned or gradual renewal, and in her travel to cities in other parts of the world.
