Form(ed) presents a series of O.O.U.U.’s (Objects Of Unidentified Uses) exploring memory, body, and femininity through material. Blown glass, hair and textile reference the artist’s bodily experience and serve as symbols for storytelling; ambiguous yet familiar. Ironic and playful, these mixed material sculptures come to life through intuitive process and intimate performative acts.

Baktay is a multi-media sculptor, sharing her time between Iceland and Alberta. As an experienced glass maker she has earned degrees from Alberta University of Art, the Rhode Island School of Design and Universidade de Nova Lisboa. She uses experimental technologies and mediums combined with time honoured methods to make her work.
