Audra Schoblocher is a metal sculptor from Calgary, Alberta. She attended the ACA+D’s Jewellery and Metalsmithing program both in the 1980s and returned in 2008 for a BFA. Her work revolves around historical research and movements of the human body. Her work has exhibited nationally and privately collected internationally.
I have followed the historical theory of adorning and protecting the human body from the elements, with materials that are collected from one’s own personal environment. I combined my readily accessible materials with traditional craft-making techniques such as spinning, crocheting and smocking to construct wearable articles.
