Libby Hague Episode #15: Every Heart Can Grow Bigger

Having such a curious and inventive mind Libby Hague has been a prolific Toronto based Artist specializing in video and large scale print installations. She has taught printmaking at Sheridan College, and is known for her paper collage and constructed installations; that deal with disaster, hope and the precariousness of consequence. Understanding the resilience and fragility of paper Libby knows this is why it is the perfect medium for expression.

Born in St Thomas Ontario, and growing up in Montreal, Quebec;  Libby has been creating sculptures and stories of contradiction, violence, love, death, disease, and vulnerability. Moving freely amongst these narratives has given her a unique vantage point as a storyteller. From here she remembers as a child how her passion grew with the fragility and strength of paper. Cutting up and pasting characters from magazines and catalogues.

Collecting and navigating her passion for literature Libby shares how her love of reading changed how she saw the world, how her love transcended language and boundaries of relationships and characters. How moving amongst these narratives gave her the opportunity to speak through paper about dialogues she finds in the environment around her. How they may be obscure, but there is a thread of reality running through all of them.
