Adam Albini
Adam Albini is a Toronto based artist whose practice explores memory, identity, and place through recycled paper. He treats paper not simply as a surface, but as a material embedded with stories and the overlooked details of everyday life. By collecting discarded paper from local environments, Albini uses gathering as a form of research.In the studio, these materials are layered onto each other, forming dense, textured surfaces that function as archives. Albini then cuts, rips, and sands into the accumulated layers, a process he describes as excavation. This revealing of buried fragments reflects his interest in how places and identities are built, erased, and reshaped over time.Each finished work captures a moment within this ongoing cycle, emphasizing the tactile relationship between memory, material, and environment.
