My work explores the strange way that we interact with technological simulations of natural things. Humanity’s desire for more ubiquitous technology is at odds with its desire for a more primal experience. We strive for more naturalistic interactions with technology while our interactions with nature itself are less and less common. I do not believe […]
I am an interdisciplinary visual artist, but my process is entrenched in drawing. It is the springboard to my creative ends as well as an honest and primal mechanism for my inner world to become tangible. With drawing rooted as a fundamental part of my life, the scale of the work I create manifests from […]
As a kid my mother and I would find and refurbish things like wooden chairs and tables. Much of our time together was spent creatively. She taught me how to paint walls, how to sand and stain wood. She showed me how to sew and cut up our jeans to make pillows for the couch. […]
I am a Brooklyn-based artist working at the intersection of painting, textiles, sculpture, collage, and installation. My goal is to innovate the field of contemporary abstraction by reimagining aesthetic power as empathetic, feminist, and ecologically conscious. I create large-scale wall-based sculptural installations and freestanding objects. My collage-based process combines painted acrylic surfaces with new, found, and recycled materials. My work […]
Paula Morales investigates the space between the analogue and digital worlds. As a visual artist she is constantly questioning images and their origins through over the top aesthetics and color studies. Her work is charged with nostalgic elements as well as modern cliches while exploring space as a subject, and the gendered space. She currently […]
An affinity for utilizing discarded materials to create artwork that will spark conversations on up-cycling has led me on a journey into trash matter transformation. While these items of lesser value are vastly present, as an artist my mission is to reincarnate them into visible objects of worth, creating a new presentation of the old and forgotten. […]
Working primarily in photography and video installation, I am a visual artist whose work revolves primarily around representations of identity. Navigating through a personal and political lens, my projects deal with issues of race, gender, and sexuality. Over the years, my practice has woven together an intimate exploration of my own visibility as a queer […]
Artists sometimes experiment with different media, hoping it will enable them to break new ground. The change of medium from flat and rigid sections of sheet steel, to crumpled, twisted and almost unrecognizable pieces of metal gleaned from a salvage yard, also brought on something more for San Francisco metal sculptor William Wareham, the first […]
“While I was an artist-in-residence at Recology San Francisco, I made the first of a series of collaborative bottle cap quilts with the San Francisco Conservation Corps. I designed and facilitated this piece with forty-five Youth In Action Corps members ranging in age from twelve to fourteen. The project was designed to expose these inner city […]
In my sculpture installations, I create allegorical situations that reference the interconnections between man and the natural world. A balance must be found and our sense of self must be expanded so that we see ourselves as enmeshed within the larger human and ecological community. Ecological imbalance, environmental degradation are issues that I attempt to […]
