ABOUT
As an artist, writer and educator, Randy Lee Cutler investigates the emergence of new cultural forms through an exploration of the intersections of gender, art, science and technology. She has produced numerous hybrid projects that engage with conversation, research and language to connect with her audience in diverse ways. Working with themes of hospitality and geopolitics, she is fascinated with the intersection of matter and metaphor. Taking the form of walks, performance, collage, printed matter, video, and creative/critical writing, Randy’s practice weaves together themes of interdisciplinarity, collaboration, materiality and sustenance. Recent projects have focused on salt, minerals and the energy harnessed within vibrant matter.
