With shadows you are as much in control of them as you are not. And two things that were very clear combine to become something completely other. 

But once our eyes have construed pattern, is there really any going back? 

Does it really matter, the name of their owners?

ABOUT

Any origin starts with an act of creation - a sweeping of thread, a linking of name and body, an installation, a setting up of something. Origin is not perfect, nor is it static. We are all carriers of origin stories, even as we move - granular and fragmented.

Oleksandra (Sasha) Shevchenko is a Ukrainian-Canadian visual artist based in Toronto, Canada. Inspired by her experience as a Ukrainian person of diaspora, her practice bridges interests in ancestral craft and intimate ethnography to create spaces where tradition critically extends into cultural futures. 

Shevchenko's work has been exhibited at the UofT Art Museum, Small Arms Gallery, the Lilley Museum of Art, and Portland State University, among other international projects. She obtained a BFA from OCAD University, and is currently studying at the University of the Arts London, Central Saint Martins, for her Master of Fine Art. Shevchenko has been awarded grants from the Mississauga Arts Council, the Ontario Council for the Arts, and the Shevchenko Foundation. She is a recipient of the Women's Art Association of Canada scholarship (2021), and was a participating artist in the Ontario Galleries exhibition of the year (2024).
