Rae White

Artist member since 2021
Toronto, Ontario

Rae White lives and works in Toronto, Canada on the traditional territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee, and the Wendat peoples. They have a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Ottawa and a Certificate in Pre-Animation & Illustration from Algonquin College.

Using the messy melange of pastels and drawing assemblage, their work investigates body and identity as a place of mythos, navigation, construction, and becoming. They aim to explore the idea of identity as a construct by destabilizing the body; adding, taking away, and rearranging in order to create bodies that defy categorization and the stacicity of transition within set binaries. They are an exploration of the artist's relationship with their own body and its limitations, and the categories into which they do and do not fit.

Their work has been exhibited in Gallery 1313's 2021 group show "SUMMER TIME" as well as the University of Ottawa's 2018 graduate exhibition "VOIX".
