Moira Ness is a conceptual visual artist working in interdisciplinary art forms based in Toronto, Canada. She utilizes photographic, painted and mixed media approaches in her practice. Ness is known for altering visual landscapes and applying experimental methods of image, text and data manipulation to reveal visual symbolisms and explore personal connections and history.
Ness has been represented by several museums and galleries throughout North America. In 2017, she received the Emerging Artist Award while participating in the annual Toronto Outdoor Art Fair, and in the following year she won the Catherine Bratty Award for Best of Art Fair. Ness has published articles about the highs and lows of art practice in Toronto and has been an active member of the Arts Etobicoke Board of Directors since 2018.
Practice
Ness is known for taking one form of content, be it photographic, text-based or data-driven information, and visually manipulating them to stress personally driven themes. Ness has credited Gregory Crewdson as an inspiration of her photographic works. Friedrich Nietzsche's doctrine of eternal recurrence has also influenced her practice.
