Teresa Tam is an artist from and based in Calgary, Canada.

At the core of my work, I’m searching for the fluctuating ways storytelling can be presented and shared. My practice utilizes spaces and experiences that are familiar and then alters them into something a bit foreign through re-interpreting and re-creating. My projects are developed to include and emphasize visitor interactions as integral components to the themes of the work. These themes touch upon alienation, identity, belonging and the position of an individual within a community – particularly from the perspective of a 2nd generation Chinese Canadian. Excessive labour and obsession with objects are integral to my aesthetic processes, as they contextualize my explorations and relationships as a diaspora individual. I specialize in digital platforms, functional installations, all things shaped in paper, and body-based exchanges and objects.
