Artist Statement
Alexis Bulman is an interdisciplinary artist based in Epekwitk’/ Prince Edward Island. Her performance, sculpture, and installation work draws on community and collaboration to explore themes of wonderment, care, and access in public and private spaces. The artist’s investigations are achieved through deep engagements with materials and process. From illuminated floating tents to chopped and fallen lumber, fiberglass amusement park artifacts to sprinkled sidewalk salt and more. Bulman uses materials as sites for sharp and playful intervention, relying on the instincts of her own body to inform her conversations with site-specific places and movement.
