ABOUT
Marika St. Rose Yeo (b. 1992, Regina, Saskatchewan, CA) is a ceramicist whose works and research are concerned with healing, justice and transformation through creative practice, and examining how these allow us to generate possibilities for alternative futures, outside the systems of harm we find ourselves in. St. Rose Yeo works primarily using both fired and unfired ceramics, creating forms that are constructed with fragile layers and cracks.
St. Rose Yeo’s carves patterns on the surface of her ceramic vessels, referencing floral and textile designs from the Caribbean, West Africa and Western Europe. The piecing together of such forms represent her multicultural heritage and the desire to understand the layers and pieces of her histories and cultures.
Marika St. Rose Yeo has a BFA with a major in ceramics from the University of Regina and a PhD in Critical and Creative Social Justice Studies through the University of British Columbia. St. Rose Yeo’s work has been displayed in galleries across Canada, including at the Vancouver Art Gallery (2021-2022) The Port Moody Art Gallery (2022) and at the Campbell River Art Gallery (2023). Recently, her work was also acquired for the Canada Council Art Bank’s collection (2023).
