Sydney Finch Artist Talk and Q&A

Description

Sydney Finch, the Digital Media Center's visiting artist for Fall 2023, will present an artist talk and Q&A about their work.

Sydney Finch is an interdisciplinary installation artist whose work explores gendered performance, labor, and healing from a non-dual trans perspective. Grounded in a hands-on practice of sewing, they also use video, 3D modeling software, and their body to discover and manipulate the infrastructures that shape consciousness, informed by lived experience and mediated histories, queer theory, and Buddhist philosophy.

Finch was born in Rochester, New York; raised in Roxas, Palawan, Philippines; and lived in the U.S. states of West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Florida, Texas, and Virginia before moving to the D.C.–Baltimore region. She completed a Master of Fine Arts in painting and printmaking from Virginia Commonwealth University in 2020.
