Problems relating to the exploitation of natural resources, landscape use, and globalization are at the core of Husky’s multimedia practice. From sculpture to drawings, action and photography, her work questions mainstream media in relation to its environmental, social and political agenda. Seventies ideals, contemporary “back to the land” movements, and solitary activism have been her […]
It is not until I chip a molar that I become aware of how my teeth rest against each other. It is discomforting and unsettling but I cannot help but explore the broken tooth with my tongue. My work has evolved because of a similar curiosity. I explore the possibilities of working with plywood in […]
My papermaking is a study in how we fall apart, expose our hearts, heal, and come back together. By gathering discarded fabrics, I seek to bring into relief the invisible, essential work of historical and contemporary women through my sculptural pieces. I tear, pulp and press these fabrics into hand carved molds and found surfaces […]
My films and installations mine the underlying perceptual and material properties of cinema (light and shadow, transience, flicker, incessant motion) as potential means for images to slip away from their documentary underpinnings, and manifest as experiential entities in their own right. My aim is to activate a process of re-perception; to etch an after-image on […]
My work is inspired by my surroundings. Since moving to Oakland a year ago, I’ve been photographing the things that people dump on the sidewalk. I’m interested in the narratives suggested by the contents of these piles (a teddy bear, a bolt of fabric, a suitcase, a seemingly new Ikea couch), and in the tableaux […]
My current work reflects my interest in the many forms of natural, constructed and simulated environments that exist in a technology-saturated world. I’m curious about how people interpret the basic building blocks of their lives, sorting relevance through systems both public and personal, tangible and virtual. I use 100% pure technology to mimic nature, much […]
I am an artist obsessed with creating spaces where recognizable forms paired with abstract materials can live. My work is a process of utilizing various ingredients, carefully curating material into shape. In turn material becomes a restraint in the process, placing rules to stay on the path of pure creation. Each piece instructs me towards […]
As a research-based, site-specific installation artist, I am interested in how a manufactured or created space can destabilize our customary expectations of and interactions with our environment. My investigations have led me to explore the symbiotic relationship between the human landscape and the natural environment. I am intrigued by the impact of global trade, patterns […]
A commitment to remain human in an increasingly changing and hybridizing world, culture, and home is what helps me negotiate my place interpersonally and relationally to my studio practice and production as an artist. As innovations alter how we perceive and interact with the world, are we coming closer to or farther from understanding each […]
As an artist I am interested in the idea of self as a body politic, something that society controls or overshadows. In this regard, my drawings address the consequence of a culture divided by the expectations of personal prosperity and the realities of sustainability. My recent work is a series of large scale drawings in […]
