Carla Dortic

"In my practice, I appropriate both from “low” and “high” culture, abutting the aesthetic of kitsch decoration to the sparse aesthetic of minimalist art. Through a mixture of appropriated imagery and object-based content, I examine the information that unites these cast-off items and images. These inquiries may take the shape of removing or obscuring critical elements of the material, which is a method often used by authority to control the flow of information in our society. This work is also inspired by my ongoing experience as an essential worker."
