ARTIST COLLABORATOR: Adrienne Wooster
Originally from Ithaca, NY, I now reside in Providence, Rhode Island. Since moving here, the dissonance of new and old, light and dark within the city has significantly shaped my work.
Much of what I do is an exploration of what I or others might look like if imagination had full reign over reality. Each person or being I create is a part of my internal world – a dreamscape of the external – passersby on the street, people spotted through bar windows, socialites at events, my face in the bathroom mirror.
When it comes to art (and life) I am both a minimalist and a collector — collage works well for this dichotomy. I like watching and listening to life, noticing the overlooked corners of each place or person, and piecing things together to make a whole or part of a whole.
Each piece is a confessional. I love the cliché but nevertheless marvelous duality of light and shadow, the merging of the two, and the emergence of some sort of truth about our lived experiences as a result.
