About the Artist
Raneece Buddan is a Jamaican visual artist who resides in Amiswaciwâskahikan (Edmonton) on Treaty 6 territory. She immigrated to Canada in 2015 and completed her BFA in Art and Design with Distinction at the University of Alberta in 2020. In her work, she focuses on her cultural identity as a Jamaican woman of Afro and Indo-Caribbean ancestry. She shows the beautiful merging of these cultures and the complexities of being of multiracial identity in Jamaican society, particularly around hair and skin complexion. This is depicted by replacing her skin tone with fabrics meant to represent each ethnicity as well as incorporating synthetic hair. Her process is based on material exploration and finding figures within the material - the wood grains and mounds of clay. Her practice includes oil painting, woodworking, clay sculpting, printmaking and weaving
