About Tonya Hart

I seek the patterns and connections which broaden our understanding of the natural world and evolve our definition of nature and aesthetics. I am inspired by nature and by the science intent on deciphering it. The central motifs of my work are water, light and magnetism which I explore in a variety of light based, two- and three-dimensional works. My recent projects include a solo exhibition in the Venice Biennale of Architecture 2018 with the European Cultural Centre and a large scaled light art installation at Ontario Place for the Winter Light Exhibition 2019.
