Meet the Artist

Kay

Rangel

curator, artist, writer.

“My artistic exploration centers in the intersection of memory and nostalgia. I delve into the mundanity of everyday objects and the memories woven into them. My practice thrives within a poetic context that aims to materialize language. As a curator, I’ve had to rely heavily on words, and as an artist, I push the viewer to navigate the written language within the visual realm. I recognize the prevalent characteristics of visual and textual language; both share a sacred bond that keeps them tied perpetually, meaning one will never be able to breathe without the other. I encourage presence to be part of the work; hence why I rely on visual or textual hints to conduct a deeper subconscious reading.”
