ARTIST STATEMENT

Chryssha Guidry was born in Florida in 1991. In 2013, she
graduated from Flagler College in St. Augustine, FL, with a BFA in Fine
Arts, Psychology, and a minor in Graphic Design. In 2014, after traveling
across country in a Chevy Conversion van, she landed in Asheville, North
Carolina. Finding a true love for North Carolina, she now resides in
Durham, NC.

This work started as a form of therapy, a method of release. The actions
organically evolve amongst each other, and she emphasizes these
relationships visually. Information is being obscured rather than
revealed. The continuous direction combines multiple perspectives, each
one making the last more obscure showing the whole is less than the
sum of its parts. There is a physical experience that can be considered
the peak, if not the overall purpose of one’s perception of this work. This
is experienced through relaxing and surrendering to the emotion that is
transpiring lulling them into a reflective escape.
