Alexa Hainsworth
Media: Painting
Alexa Hainsworth is a Canadian artist who works in fiber-based sculpture, immersive installation, and costume. She received her MFA from the University of Saskatchewan. Hainsworth enjoys playing with textiles and other fibre-based materials, finding ways to manipulate and stretch them to behave in new and unexpected ways. The larger-than-life characters in their menagerie each take on their own personality. Often inspired by nature, both plant and animal forms, Hainsworth plays with colour, pattern, and scale, animating her sculptures and installations with a unique life force. Alexa Hainsworth has exhibited her work locally, nationally, and internationally, including Saskatoon, Regina, Toronto, Halifax, and Croatia. She has participated in numerous residencies locally and abroad and is a 2time Best-in-Show winner at the Sask Fashion Wearable Art Gala. Her award-winning work was recently acquired by SK Arts.
