ArtFCity - Must-See Art Events

Shana Moulton explores natural landscapes and their relationships to consumer goods to create immersive psychological spaces that meld fiction with autobiography. Morphing Essence Syndrome continues Moulton’s development of her alter ego Cynthia in her video and performance series Whispering Pines.  In this latest installment, Cynthia tackles Restless Leg Syndrome and experiences Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response through the use of Swisspers.  

Shana Moulton grew up near Yosemite, California, and lives and works in New York. She earned her BA from University of California, Berkeley, in Art and Anthropology and her MFA from Carnegie Mellon University.
