Abstract

Through drawing, writing, performance, and social practice, her work investigates the nebulous distinction between want, need, and desire in context of capitalist spectacle and corporeal intimacy. She maintains an intimate sketchbook process that serves as a sociological platform, documenting encounters that situate the artist as observer, participant, and researcher. By manipulating vernacular language and signifiers of chance, she reveals how manifestations of want are informed by the state-formation, free markets, and imperialist legacies. She holds a MFA from the Maryland Institute College of Art in Illustration Practice and a BA in Gender & Women's Studies and Psychology from the University of California, Berkeley. Tiffany currently lives and works in Las Vegas where she joins the Department of Art at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas as a Visiting Assistant Professor of Design and Illustration.
