Sapphire Moon Moroz was born on a blue moon on Treaty 1 Territory in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Her interdisciplinary practice has a conceptual approach to image-making through combinations of painting, sculpture, photo, video, and installation. Investigating notions of intimacy, privacy, and memory, she utilizes her own image and personal archives as well as found media in contextually meaningful ways. Her work is intricate, critical, and unsettling, and demonstrates her dedication to research, concept, and craftsmanship. Sapphire holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts (Hons.) from the University of Manitoba School of Art. She works in collections management and art handling for local galleries and institutions. She is in love with and troubled by: history, bodies, words, and living. Her biggest inspirations are women, religion, and horror.
