Danica Drago is an artist, maker and educator from Etobicoke, Ontario, but calls many places home. Graduating from the Material Art & Design program at OCAD University, Danica’s practice as a tool and object maker investigates the ways in which art, design and craft intersect, by creating functional objects that interact with the body and the spaces around us.
As an avid explorer of materials, their work is not bound to one medium but rather interested in the materiality of processes, and how materials can speak for themselves and to each other.
They are passionate about bringing people into their making-process.
Danica lives and works in Toronto, Canada.
