ABOUT THIS ARTIST
Raised with a twin brother in a conservative Christian suburb of Dallas, Connor Walden is an artist currently in Los Angeles. After spending his formative years as an adult in the liberal secular cities of Austin and Seattle, Connor finds himself in a state of ambivalence, holding a complex of feelings, ideologies, and communities. In order to continue this dialectic move, Connor’s studio becomes a playground to feel around for common threads and pokey stitches. Steeped in this current ambivalence and a longing for genuine dialogue, Connor explores the performative and gendered role of individuals and communities in systems of belief through sculpture, performance, video, and installation.
