Amalie Atkins is a multidisciplinary
artist whose work hop-scotches from filmmaking to fabric-based sculpture
to performance. In 2001, Atkins graduated with distinction from the Alberta
College Of Art and Design with a major in Fibre. Working under the mandate
of Minima Cinema she has completed eight short films, some of which have
shown to small & large audiences in exotic locales such as San Francisco,
Dallas, Miami, Connecticut, Lethbridge, Sackville, Toronto, Banff, Edmonton,
Calgary, Winnipeg, Saskatoon, and Montreal. She has been part of solo
and group exhibitions. In 2003 she founded the Bike Ballet Club: a small
but dedicated cycling trio. After months of training the show traveled
to Ottawa and Montreal. She is also the co-founder and an active member
of the Optronic Eye Film Club.
Amalie Atkins is currently employed as a designer of miniature costumes
for a Saskatoon-based stop-motion animation show. Atkins’ first
16mm film project, Three Minute Miracle, supported by the Sask Film Pool
and Saskatchewan Arts Board, was recently completed at the Banff Centre
for the Art’s Imaginary Places Residency in June 2007.
