STATEMENT

Emily Denlinger’s collage images capture her psychological interpretation of reality. As someone with an active dream life, she works to find the connections between her awake and asleep lives. Denlinger is particularly interested in exploring themes surrounding the military-industrial complex and its impact on regular citizens’ day-to-day lives along with issues of identity, survival, truth, and power. She is interested in the way these topics surface consciously and subconsciously while she is creating. Her 2D images and time-based works incorporate mass produced media, vintage 8mm home movies, hand drawn and digitally manipulated calligraphy, dyed paper, and photography.
