Like joining words together to form a poem, my pieces reveal themselves to me as I form new associations with elements that already have separate histories. Humour is an important component in my work because it provides a universal means of communication.<\/p>\n<p><strong>BIO<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Kass Copeland has worked as an artist and designer in Chicago since 1995. Prior to earning her BFA in graphic design from The Ringling College of Art and Design in Sarasota, Florida, she studied and apprenticed with her father, a theatrical and circus prop designer and craftsman. She collaborated with the former Redmoon Theater for over a decade and now enjoys working with Cabinet of Curiosities, The Chicago Children&#8217;s Theater, NewMoon Chicago and other theater, event, and advertising clients.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ARTIST CONTACT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>[<a href=\"mailto:kasscopeland@gmail.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">click to email<\/a>]<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/kasscopeland.wixsite.com\/kasscopeland\/collage\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">kasscopeland.wixsite.com\/kasscopeland\/collage<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>IMAGES<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5353\" src=\"http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/artistdirectory\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/kass-copeland-first-generation.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"909\" srcset=\"http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/artistdirectory\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/kass-copeland-first-generation.jpg 700w, http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/artistdirectory\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/kass-copeland-first-generation-231x300.jpg 231w, http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/artistdirectory\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/kass-copeland-first-generation-210x273.jpg 210w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><br \/>\n<em>First Generation<\/em><br \/>\n40&#8243;x30&#8243;;
