Bio
Liz Knox is an artist who uses conceptual strategies to examine systems of interpretation with an emphasis on humour. Language is the most common thread in her work, and a regular starting point is found text. Knox completed her MFA at ECU and studied under Laurel Woodcock and Sandra Rechico as an undergraduate at the University of Guelph. She has taught at both institutions in art history, media arts and interdisciplinary art courses.

Research Interests
Liz’s current areas of research include bookworks, multiples, language as a medium and post conceptual paradigms. She has an interest in popular culture and her research often takes her into deep dives online. She regularly uses found text from comment threads to create portraits of changing cultural, political and sexual mores. Current projects include translating a text into colour using her own cipher. She has exhibited across the country, recently having two artworks included in Copy Machine Manifestos at the Vancouver Art Gallery, and the City of Vancouver Urban Screen public art commission, located on the ECU building.
