Lindsay Preston Zappas Artist Talk

Lindsay Preston Zappas is an artist and writer based in L.A. Her work compresses various mediums—like photography, sculpture, weaving, and performance—using the body as a constant interloper between mediums and methods. Throughout Zappas' work, the human form is intermixed with various objects, patterns, and props, exploring notions of adornment alongside our frenetic need for consumer goods. While welcoming digital tools like Photoshop and on-demand printing, Zappas also embraces the craft tradition of weaving, drawing connections between the ability of the loom to—like digital media—flatten image and material into one compressed plane.

Lindsay Preston Zappas is an L.A.-based artist, writer, and the founder and editor-in-chief of Contemporary Art Review Los Angeles (Carla). She received her MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art and attended Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in 2013. She has taught at Cal State Long Beach, Harvey Mudd College, Oregon College of Art & Craft, Fullerton College, and California State University, Northridge. Zappas has recently exhibited at Buffalo Institute for Contemporary Art, Wilding Cran, Five Car Garage, and Brea Gallery.
