About

Ingrid Koivukangas is an environmental artist whose work encompasses many mediums including site-specific ephemeral and permanent works, interventions, installation, sculpture, video, sound, web, digital, photography, painting, printmaking and drawing. She is interested in issues of identity, especially indigenous cultures including her own, the environment, technology and globalization – questioning how our identities are shaped by the land while also exploring how technology can be integrated into that understanding. Working intuitively she creates new site-specific works for each site she is invited to. Much of the work is an attempt to provide the viewer with a starting point to begin contemplating their own connections to the land.

She was recently honoured to be one of 79 international artists whose work was included in “Art in Action: Nature, Creativity and Our Collective Future” published by the Natural World Museum and the United Nations Environment Department.

Her works have been exhibited in Canada, USA, China, Finland, Spain and Russia.

Ingrid is open to collaborations – especially with scientists, researchers, architects, landscape architects, urban planners, writers – and is available for private and public commissions. She is also available to teach workshops in environmental art.
