Meet the Artist: Misty
Hi, I’m Misty (they/them) I’m a local interdisciplinary visual artist. Meaning… Artist as-mischief maker, wonder seeker, pleasure activist, community builder, and facilitator of play and connection. I make objects to sell (sometimes), participatory sculpture (I make a thing and that drives conversation or curiosity, but it’s usually not a sellable object), or I simply use my own actions (riding a bike indoors) as a way to question/challenge/quallenge! rules, ideas, and other social concepts/ structures/etc #rebel.
You can follow Misty on Instagram or check out their artist website.
