Note:

Devon Knowles has material-centred practice and works in sculpture, installation, and various two-dimensional processes. She focuses on the production methods of objects and their materials and specifically considers how together they influence and form the language that surrounds them. From coloured glass, steel, and aluminum to fabric and street detritus, the varied histories, economies, and social meanings of diverse materials and processes are unpredictably combined. As she engages with elements of perception, opticality, and tactility alongside the direct act of making, Knowles encourages the viewer to access her work from a shared intimacy and sympathetic attentiveness.

Knowles' work has been included in exhibitions nationally and internationally including, the Vancouver Art Gallery and the Western Front (Vancouver); Or Gallery Berlin; Simon Fraser University Gallery (Burnaby); and Off-Lomas (Albuquerque). Her work is held in public and private collections including, the Vancouver Art Gallery, The Medcan Collection (Toronto), and the Nanaimo Art Gallery. She is currently an Assistant Professor (Sculpture) at the University of Guelph.
