PRINT ARTIST IN RESIDENCE
2023 marked the first year of Otherwise Studios' annual Printmaking Artist in Residence award. This 4-month residency is awarded to one graduating printmaking student at the University of Guelph's Juried Art Show, the largest student-run juried art show in Canada.
Otherwise is proud to host emerging artists who are dedicated to printmaking, and to be able to provide a space for them to use specialized equipment and studio time, right out of school.
2024 artist in residence
Celeste Carter (she/they) is an interdisciplinary artist working between Stratford and Guelph,
Ontario. Their work unfolds from their experiences in nature and their process of collecting secondhand textiles, jewelry, and found materials. Celeste employs patterns and motifs to explore how nature is simplified when it is represented in mass-produced items including textiles and jewelry. Celeste engages with the concept of the multiple and its relationship to printmaking, pattern, and mass-produced objects. She reflects on the perishability and permanence of materials, often combining prints on ephemeral, non-archival papers with prints on archival papers and mass-produced objects to examine production cycles and the permanence of waste.
Celeste graduated with an Honours BA in Studio Art with a minor in Art History from the University of Guelph in Spring 2024.

She is interested in sharing the collective joy of creation, and playfully resisting the "rules" of art-making.
