Artwork
As an artist, Moffat has exhibited her work throughout Canada and internationally and has completed a number of artist's residencies. These include residencies at Video Vérité (now PAVED Arts) in Saskatoon, The Dunlop Gallery in Regina, CARFAC Saskatchewan in Prince Albert,[2] and the Canada Council for the Arts' Paris Residency in 2012.[3]
Moffat has also been involved in many art organizations as a cultural worker and as a board member and has worked as a sessional instructor at the University of Saskatchewan and the University of Regina.[2]
Language and speech have been ongoing subjects of exploration for Moffat. The installation entitled "COMP_OSE" exhibited in a national tour in 2008 and 2009, included two interactive interfaces - one creating language as sound, the other as text. These "instruments" engaged gallery goers in collaboration.[4] These artistic concerns extend to include the slippage that occurs in translation, as in the work "she i her" exhibited at The Dunlop Gallery in 2015.[5] In 2017, she was commissioned to create Small Sonorities: Material Signals, a four-minute, multi-screen video as part of the Remai Modern Art Gallery web commission project.[6]
