‘The Waiting Room’ is an exhibition alluding to complicated sentiments formed through shame, grief and existential dread from a recovering catholic to paganist perspective. Through these artworks, I wish to convey religious iconography in a way that reflects the complexities of change to an individual’s core beliefs and morals, exploring how the human vessel interacts with the disembodied soul. ‘The Waiting Room’ creates an environment where the viewer will feel as if they are walking through an interpretation of symbolic purgatory. 

Chloe Serenko (she/ they), better known to others as ‘Chloe’ or ‘Chloenko’, is a 21-year-old fine arts student. Their practice is rooted in exploratory approaches to mixed media, painting and sculpture. She is a Canadian artist who grew up in the small town of Bowmanville, Ontario. She currently resides in London, Ontario, completing her final year at Western University, getting her Honours Specialisation BFA in Studio Art. Their goal for the future is to improve both their conceptual and technical experimentation in design and fabrication practices.
