Faye Mullen
Often within a dissection of architectural space, Faye Mullen employs the body to speculate theories concerning absence, loss and limitation.  Her work has been informed by her sculptural practice and is often combined with performance, video and installation. Her phenomenological investigations are articulated through durational and poetic imagery.

Mullen grew up bilingually in the Niagara Region, Canada. She studied studio art with an emphasis in sculpture atl’école National Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris, France and at the Ontario College of Art & Design and University of Toronto where she received her BFA and Masters.

Mullen has exhibited internationally in solo and curated group exhibitions in Paris, Seoul, Portland, Melbourne and Toronto and has participated in international artist residencies in Canada, United States and South Korea.  She is the founder of minnow & bass Gallery, a nomadic artist-run space currently dormant.  Currently, Faye situates her practice in Toronto.
