Isac Elam Kaid (b.1991, Alberta, Canada) is a sculptor living and working in British Columbia. His practice moves across stone, gypsum, leather, tar, and wax, balancing solidity with vulnerability to reflect the processes of time. Employing methods of chiseling, shattering, wrapping, and stacking, Kaid creates works that meditate on cycles of place and transformation—splitting and reconfiguring marble veins, or gathering fragments of stone as markers of chaos and renewal.
Working with materials such as lava stone, ardesia, basalt, granite, limestone, and marble, Kaid situates his sculptures within the broader geological continuum, from magma to fossilized memory. His works, exhibited internationally and held in both public and private collections, stand as acknowledgments of our shared participation in these concentric cycles of transformation, where ritual and repetition become ways of knowing.
