BIO
Kamryn McFarlane works in video, sound, installation, and performance. Her sonic and sculptural works explore subtle geological processes, cyclical weather patterns, the fluctuation of currents and mechanical pulses. She is interested in how one interacts within specific acoustic ecologies and attempts to provide different ways of listening to eco-acoustic cues while navigating our changing environmental landscape. In data collection and translation, Kamryn creates undulating sonic landscapes through the methodical manipulation and dissection of field-recorded sound.
Kamryn holds an Honours Bachelor of Arts from the University of Toronto Mississauga. As well as an Advanced Diploma in Art and Art History, and a Diploma in Visual and Creative Arts from Sheridan College. In 2019 she was the recipient of the Dr. Annie Smith Travel Grant and was also accepted into the Akin Studio Program at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Toronto. Kamryn is currently taking a leave from an MFA at Concordia University to raise her daughter, however continues her explorations in sonic arts and theory.
