About Pandora Vaughan:
Pandora Vaughan was born in London, UK, and grew up in Nova Scotia. Vaughan’s spatial practice works with atmospheres of the built environment and related political structures. She sometimes visualizes lived experiences as designed spaces or invents mechanical solutions to imagined problems. She works with communities to find appreciation for sites and explores issues of carceral geography and the impact of different cultural behaviours on landscapes.
