Shana Moulton: Navigating Dreams and Anxieties through Mixed Media Art

Shana Moulton is an innovative American performance and video artist known for her captivating site-specific installations. Utilizing mixed media including video projections and found objects, her work invites audiences into abstract and dreamlike narratives shaped by her personal fears and anxieties. With a BA from UC Berkeley and an MFA from Carnegie Mellon, her pieces often serve as "Dream Scenes," blending humor and relatability through low-tech materials and rough editing. Influenced by artists like Cindy Sherman and Pipilotti Rist, Moulton creates an immersive experience for viewers to escape into alternate realities.
