Alexine McLeod is an interdisciplinary artist whose work explores perception, spirituality, and lens-based technologies. Since completing her BFA at Emily Carr University (2016) and MFA at the University of Guelph (2020), she has created immersive installations and light boxes using found materials and projected light. Experimenting with the curiosities inherent in seeing through the lens of photography, her work layers colour, shadow, and form to explore optical dynamics between colour, space and surface. McLeod’s recent light-based imagery invites viewers into active looking, where vibrant obstructions and spatial compressions reveal depth in the periphery.
