Kirsten Johnson

Kirsten Johnson is a Toronto-based visual artist whose work appears in private and public collections all over North America, Europe, Australia and Japan. She works mainly in oil and acrylic on wood.

I discovered her in a google-search for "sock puppets" my Freshman year of college, when I was making work involving sock puppets. (I feel so weird every time I say that. Explaining my projects to family members my Freshman year was actually kind of humiliating - "oh, I'm addressing the cynicism of our culture and times, as well as the inherent nature of play and uh... yeah, my first project I found a broken TV and set up a sock puppet show in it... um.")
