Erica Whyte is a Toronto-based artist working between sculpture, drawing, and time-based mediums. Through ceramics and dry media, her work can be characterized by realism, perspective, and post-modernity. She often depicts organic and inorganic shapes that draw on nature, technology, and sound. 

Deeply inspired by culturally significant objects and folklore that reflect her experience, her practice is rooted in a coming-of-age as a Canadian and first-generation Caribbean. Last year, she showcased in several group exhibitions across Toronto, including galleries and arts organizations such as It’s Ok Studio, Ukai, Vector Festival, Inter/Access, Charles Street Video, and Such As Gallery in Tokyo, Japan.

XiR thanks Aaron Kirsch for his generous in-kind support of this residency; as well as the financial support of Cooper Cole Gallery, the Ontario Arts Council, and the Canada Council for the Arts.
