Education

Benning began her studies in the Bachelor of Fine Arts program at the University of Regina and later completed her BFA at the Nova Scotia College of Art & Design in 2004. In 2009, Benning finished her Masters of Sculpture at the Edinburgh College of Art & Design in Scotland.[1]

Career

Heather Benning's work focuses on rural prairie life and “highlights the historical shift from small family farms to sprawling agri-business compounds. She is also defying the predominance of urban themes in contemporary art.”[2] The most notable of Benning’s works is The Dollhouse, which began in 2007 and took 18 months to complete. This large scale dollhouse began as an abandoned farm house, which Benning refurbished in a 1960s style. One outside wall was replaced with plastic sheeting, so the interior was visible from the outside. The Dollhouse was located just off the Canadian Highway 2, in southwest Manitoba.[3]

In 2014, once The Dollhouse became unsafe, Heather Benning burnt the house down. This was filmed and turned into a short documentary directed by Benning and Chad Galloway.[4]

Other important works include the Kil(n) Hand installation in Simcoe, Ontario from her time at the Norfolk Arts Centre artist residency[5] and The Marysburg Project: Watching Woman, a large scale sculpture installation in an abandoned house located in Marysburg, Saskatchewan that was created in 2004.[6]

Benning has shown all over Canada as well as internationally,[7] and her work has been reviewed the National Post, PN Review Journal, and Sculpture Magazine.[8]

In 2010, Heather Benning was long listed for the Sobey Art Award, one of Canada's most prestigious art awards[9]
