The reason I have decided to make Kristi Malakoff one of my artists is not only because I am obsessed with a lot of her works but because of the interesting mediums she uses to create them. Malakoff uses materials of all kinds that are familiar in most people's everyday lives from paper to food and this is why I love them.
Here are some of my favorite works:

Kristi Malakoff is a Canadian artist that attended the Chelsea College of Art and Design in England. She also got her BFA from the Emily Carr Institute in Vancouver. Malakoff has received many scholarships and awards for her works and has exhibited all over the world. She has been in both solo and group exhibitions and her work has been featured in many Canadian publications. Her work is held in private and corporate collections across Canada and the United States and she continues to grow more and more popular.
What does she do?
This artist is predominantly known for her installations created using a very large amount materials. She has series of works made from money pieces, stamp pieces, pictures of objects, paper cuttings, food and so many other materials. Malakoff's works vary in size, some are extremely large while others are tiny and intricate. The artist loves to work with everyday materials to recreate natural things or things people see everyday and she does an amazing job.
Why she inspires me?
Malakoff inspires me because of how detailed and creative each of her works is and the types of materials she chooses to use. It is amazing to me that she is able to take everyday objects like candy and transform the into a candy train or thousands of tiny pictures of bees and create an entire bee hive. Each of her works takes a lot of time and I hope my works will relate to people, maybe not in the materials I use like hers, but in the concepts.
