About:
Hailey Scheff is an interdisciplinary artist born in Buffalo, New York. She is currently based in New York City while attending The Parsons School of Art and Design for Fine Arts.
Statement:
My interdisciplinary practice explores the interconnectivity within the subconscious, unconscious, and human condition by analyzing dream imagery and spiritual symbolism. I am investigating a paradox relationship between nascent and weathered imagery, both physically and spiritually.
Using oil painting, sculpture, and poetry, I delve into these ideas with the intention of objectively analyzing dream imagery as a means of conceptually exploring the transformation from a past self into a new entity. This transition can be interpreted as an everlasting cycle of recession and resumption of encountering the totality of the human condition. Initially, it’s a mystery to the viewer what imagery seen is fiction or reality, allowing the viewer to contemplate what it represents in the space. What each viewer perceives within my artworks differs, inviting the viewer to reflect on what, prompts them to have this perception.
Through my work, I aim to leave the viewers with a desire to explore imagery in their own subconscious and ponder the nature of the human condition, while exchanging and connecting my own experiences that further the interconnectivity of all.
