BIO
Born and raised in Germany, Marianne Reim, immigrated to Canada when she was 22. She received her degree in Art and Art History from McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario, and resides in St. Catharines, Ontario.
After graduating, she began her career as an artist working in steel and stone exploring concepts of humanism as expressed through language and material. She worked on a series of books cut from steel and stone that were personal interpretations of her history within a larger cultural history.
She has been exhibiting in 23 Countries across six continents and received numerous Awards and Grants. Her work can be found in private collections, Government of Ontario Art Collection Archives public collections of Art Galleries and Sculpture parks.
STATEMENT
The specific forms of my work float on the surface of a well of memory. I create discreet objects, objects in series and installation.
My preferred material is steel, and/or Stone. In my constructions the material wears its identity through rough-cut edges, visible welds and an undisguised slabness. I may combine them with glass, stone, text, Photographs, and miscellaneous findings.
By cutting, burning and welding, experience and emotion are melded into steel.
