Bio

Selené Huff is a visual artist living and working in Amiskwaciwâskahikan (ᐊᒥᐢᑲᐧᒋᐋᐧᐢᑲᐦᐃᑲᐣ) Treaty 6 territory, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Her creative research research takes the form of sculptures and durational performances that focus on the reimagining of industrial detritus. Huff explores the bodily references found in industrial equipment, and through the site of sculpture and performance, how these references might be re-imagined by reintegrating aspects of the human body with industrial objects that have been destroyed or abandoned and left to decompose.Huff has exhibited her work in group and solo shows across the province of Alberta. In her sculptures and durational performances Huff combines scavenged, ruined pieces of industrialism with hand forged steel elements, plaster, glass, fabric, wood, concrete and her own body. Prior to pursuing her degree, Huff worked as an aerospace welder building and repairing exhaust systems for small aircraft, and received her Journeyperson’s ticket in Welding from The Northern Alberta Institute of Technology in 2016. Huff received her MFA in Sculpture from the University of Alberta in 2020 and has been Sessional Instructor since 2020 and Studio Arts Technician since 2022 in the University of Alberta’s Sculpture Department.
