Karen Connell I am a multimedia artist who is interested in how our interior and exterior worlds are constructed through media, cultural frameworks and language.
I like to think of these interior and exterior worlds as non-spaces; as they don’t truly exist. They are merely creations we make. Often, these non-spaces are where memory, nostalgia and desire reside.
Designing and building sets and installations in my studio allows me to manufacture these spaces. I incorporate technical information from theatre, stage and television production, using various materials such as vinyl, optic fibers, resin and painting.
