Roxanne Ignatius on CBC Arts by Marco Libretti

Artist Biography

Roxanne Ignatius is a Toronto based textile installation artist, sculptor, and costume designer who draws inspiration from folk arts, traditional textiles and weaving, and the natural world and our place within it. She has created interactive textile installations for Harbourfront Centre, Summerworks Theatre Festival, and Luminato Festival, as well as public parks and music venues across the city. As a frequent collaborator with actors, puppeteers, musicians, dancers, and performers of all kinds, Roxanne builds unorthodox connections across art forms and looks for audiences outside of the gallery setting. Her set and costume design has been shortlisted for the Prism prize, won the Summerworks Excellence in Design award, and has been featured in NOW Magazine and CBC Arts.
