BIO

Viy, pronounced /v/, is a multi-media artist currently working out of Omaha. Their work is made of the things they are unable to let go of, both items and thoughts. Focused on the intersection of refuse, refusal, and re-fusing, their work aims to investigate the various layers in which things are and can be interconnected. Seeing the artistic potential in everything, thinking about the stories told in how things collect and the art of maintenance.  ​​
