Colin Chudyk

Colin Chudyk is a Montreal-based visual artist working with textiles and ceramics. By pouring liquid clay into textile forms, he creates mineralised landscape-bodies with an almost uncanny biological quality – enclosed by a membrane, shaped by gravity and pressure. His work explores interspecies relationships, toxicity, and extraction through themes of leaking, infection, and rupture. His landscape-bodies capture the grotesque beauty of ecological collapse.

Colin has twice been a resident at the European Ceramic Work Centre (EKWC), was a summer resident at Archie Bray, and has recently collaborated with the TextielMuseum | TextielLab in the Netherlands. Over the past three years, his studio research has focused on developing a technique of ceramic slip-casting using textile formwork and machine-knitted moulds. His work has been exhibited internationally. Colin holds a Master of Architecture from Yale University.
