Marissa Apstein
Marissa Apstein found her work most passionately when she was shut off from the bigger events of life, living off cadence, working nights doing visual displays in stores, or spending days in her apartment during the pandemic. With her work she likes to explore how we interact with the things, objects, feelings, that may seem small in the moment, but become everything in our memories. Through her work she explores that action of reflecting on previous moments and memories, seeing what sticks out, what is concrete, and what fades away. She uses colour and perspective, warping them, celebrating them, or sharpening them, in order to pinpoint that image or smell or feeling that grounds the entire moment. As an artist she finds herself going to battle for these things that she finds important, things that she connects with, things that connect her with other people, and aims to give them the appreciation they deserve.
