Vida Simon is a visual artist whose work incorporates drawing, writing, found/hand-crafted objects, sound, and gesture, combined to form site-responsive installations and performances. Her work has been presented internationally, in diverse contexts such as galleries, hotel rooms, storefronts, theatres, rooftops, a former synagogue, an old horse stable, and a century-old house on Fogo Island, Newfoundland. A running thread throughout her work is drawing, a form that most directly expresses her interests in visual storytelling, improvisation, and the resonance of elemental materials. Her work often draws attention to the detail, the intimate, and the ephemeral. Collaborating and teaching are also integral parts of her practice. Vida lives in Montreal.
