Teresa Tam is an artist from and based in Calgary, Canada. Her practice utilizes spaces and experiences that are familiar and then alters them into something a bit foreign through re-interpreting and re-creating. Tam’s projects are developed to emphasize audience interactions as integral components to her work, which is an exploration on how memories become embedded in mundane forms and the unexpected ways we remember or forget. This is often manifested through excessive labour and obsession with objects in her processes. Tam specializes in digital platforms, functional installations, all things shaped in paper, and body-based exchanges and objects. Recent work includes the Good Job Arcade project and being part of the Art for Social Change Public Art Residency hosted by Calgary Arts Development. She graduated from AUArts in 2014 and co-runs Yolkless Press with Areum Kim.
