Maya Skarzenski is an interdisciplinary artist fusing together painting, textiles, and photography. Her work explores the intersections between the abject and the beautiful.

Through the use of material exploration and by incorporating unusual process combinations, she dissolves the line between fine-art and craft. Painting and textile techniques allow Skarzenski to create bodily imagery that is sensual, fragile, playful, and ambiguous.

Shaheer Zazai is a Toronto-based Afghan-Canadian artist with a current studio practice both in painting and digital media. His practice focuses on exploring and attempting to investigate the development of cultural identity in the present geopolitical climate and diaspora.

Using Word docs as a medium, Shaheer creates intricate textile-like patterns that resemble Afghan carpets. In this episode we'll be talking about how this practice began, how his Afghan heritage informs his practice and the ways he is keeping motivated and inspired while we experience life in isolation.
