Artist Reception | Friday, May 16, 7-9 p.m. (members & corporate sponsors welcomed at 6 p.m.)

Brittany Metz is an installation and new media artist creating work through self-awareness that encourages introspection and contemplation. The nature of her work is meditative, with looping video effects that allow the viewer to discover connections to the images presented. Metz employs moving images, video stills, cyanotypes, altered magazines, and sculptural collages to explore the nature of our experience and perception through the interconnected concepts of time, ephemera, and present-mindedness. The bridge between these concepts spans their shared emphasis on impermanence and the importance of appreciating the present.

Metz received a BA in Studio Art from Rollins College and an MFA in Emerging Media: Studio Art & the Computer from the University of Central Florida. She has exhibited nationally and internationally, and lives and works in Orlando, Florida, where she is professor of Art & Design.
