About
an unexpected surprise: a parade in barcelona, spain
Beth McCubbin is a sculptor who presently lives and works in Low, QC.
She works as a full-time artist with a background in art galleries, theatres, artist-run centres, art instruction, and objects conservation.
Her practice uses a range of materials to explore social and environmental themes —including clay, concrete, recycled metals, plastics, textiles and found objects.
Drawing from history and looking to the future, she often combines imagery and text, pairing visual elements with narrative fragments. Her sculptural practice brings overlooked subjects, truths, and quiet moments into focus using familiar materials and objects.
Key highlights of her artistic career were when she worked for years in Black Box Theatre in Peterborough, ON, in set and prop production. Another highlight has been working with numerous Indigenous communities in Ottawa, ON, in particular on the creation of a ceramic tile mural which is permanently installed in the Complexe St-Laurent in 2020.
