Soft Ground: Back to the Swamp Forest
Currently based in Los Angeles, Breanna was raised in the mountains of Southern Appalachia where the landscape has been endlessly worked by technologies of extraction. Left behind is a scarred, soft ground.
The cartographic images in her “Soft Grounds” series present bits as matter and landscapes as information through the manipulation of tools engineered to digitize physical conditions. These unearthed and unwrapped visions of the landscape present both a familiar softness and an uncomfortable awareness of geological violence.
Exhibited at Vellum, Los Angeles. Curated by Jesse Damiani and Sinziana Velicescu.

skin suits (performance film releasing soon) Skin Suits is
a series of self portraits exploring the misuse of technological tools to
highlight the softness of the human form. Through the manipulation of
technologies engineered to digitize physical information, cartographic textures
are stitched, draped, flattened, and animated.
This realtime motion capture performance explores the tensions between soft and hard, digital and physical, wrapped and unwrapped, information and flesh.
