AliCat is a multimedia artist with over a decade working in the entertainment industry. Their work for television production was often at the intersection of artifice and waste. While their artistic praxis is adjacent: at the intersection of artifice and reusability, parsing through ethical and moral considerations of what we can and should be holding onto and how that functions within a culture with a penchant for excess.
Their work aims to avoid extensive participation in capitalistic structures, investigate biases in consumer culture and the specific effect it has on marginalized groups, while also engaging the possibilities inherent in a call to “reduce and reuse” as applied to artistic production. All artworks are produced with the great majority of materials having been accumulated or acquired for free.
