Lindsey is an exhibiting visual artist working with a focus on film photography and collage. Lindsey’s art explores the effects of capitalist society on its people, structures, and systems. It analyzes and deconstructs cultural issues surrounding the influence of media, objectification, and the disposable treatment of people and places through the lenses of social norms, mental health, and industrialization. At the same time as her work shines a spotlight on what’s forgotten about or uncomfortable to address socially, politically, or otherwise, there is an overriding element of hope and resiliency about the human spirit and nature that can’t be overlooked.
