Haptic Rituals

Lael Chmelyk is a Calgary-based artist and graduate of the Ceramics Department at AUArts.

In Lael Chmelyk’s (BFA ’20, Ceramics) exhibition Haptic Rituals, she explores ideas of “otherhood” through quilting and functional ceramics and, through this exploration and reclaiming of domestic objects, invites the viewer to question the status quo and investigate the role their physiologies play in their own story.
