BIO

Viy, pronounced /v/, is an interdisciplinary artist and third generation hoarder. Their practice is about holding on and learning to let go. Focusing on the intersection of refuse, refusal, and re-fusing, their work aims to investigate the interconnections between our waste, our environment, the systems around us and ourselves. They are interested in the stories told through the collection of things and the art of maintenance. 

 

Currently Viy is the Studio Assistant at The Joslyn's Kent Bellows Mentoring Program. They also work with BFF Omaha as Director of the MaMo Gallery and Green Team Manager and as a plot leader with Free Farm Syndicate.
