Karen Bondarchuk’s work—ranging from sculpture and drawing to video and book making—employs a broad range of materials and processes that centers on the image of the crow and raven. Her work examines the complex relationship between humans and corvids and has been exhibited widely in the United States, as well as in Canada, England, Italy and India. Bondarchuk has been the recipient of several fellowships and her work is in the permanent collection of the National Gallery of Canada as well as several other public and private collections.
