Portfolio
Stella Jurgen’s art can be found in residential and public spaces such as condominiums across the Greater Toronto Area, restaurants, electrical boxes, and in libraries.
Stella’s most recent creation is a 3D installation titled “CONSUMED” which was selected as one of the 100 pieces to compete at the Art Comp 2024 in London, Ontario. One hundred international artists were selected by a panel of judges to showcase one artwork that is unique, thought-provoking, and engaging.
The CONSUMED installation creates curiosity and awareness. How big is the footprint that impacts the environment when one person consumes goods for one year that are packaged with plastic, cardboard and foam?
This installation consists of a gown made with recycled and non-recyclable packaging that Stella consumed during one year. It represents the oceans with plastic flora, the earth in bloom with printed cardboard, and the sky filled with foam stars. The long train represents the carbon footprint that was left behind — 18 ft long x 9 ft wide x 6 ft tall. The installation also includes a painting of 40″ wide x 60″ h and it represents a mirror reflecting a beautiful image showing circular economy. Materials used in packaging and in clothing are repurposed into other products. As as artist, graphic designer and recycled fashion creator, she reused materials to make this unique artwork. The competition opened May 23, 2024, and after 100 days in exhibition, the winners were chosen by a panel of judges and by the public. The closing ceremony took place September 5, 2024. https://100kellogglane.com/events/art-comp-2024
