Nicolo Sertorio – member since 2021

What are you working on?

I am still evolving my ‘Simulacra’ project (see below).

Artist Statement

My arts practice has been in increased flux for three years. I wanted to produce more topical work without sacrificing aesthetic concerns. This meant introducing creative decision making into the lens-based creative process earlier. I found an approach during an April, 2018 residency working on the digital layering of photographic images. This is now the core of my practice. It provides a blank space in which to explore both social and aesthetic issues and at the same time provides a tremendous range of possibility in transparency, texture, and color that would be unattainable in most single-layered lens-based work.
