BFA in progress – The School of the Art Institute of Chicago
Etta Sandry grew up in Bloomington, Minnesota. She currently lives in Chicago where she is a full-time student seeking her BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in interdisciplinary fine arts.
Etta Sandry’s work focuses on interactions in space and daily life practice. She is interested in the potential for art to be a facilitator and an educator within a community setting. She considers work in art education and organization to be a part of her artistic practice. Her work reflects on the importance of daily actions through recording everyday activities through the use of photography, mapping, documenting, collecting, and drawing. She is interested in how these processes can be explored through fiber practices. She is currently specifically focused on weaving and how drawing, documenting, and mapping can be interpreted through a weaving practice. With a background in a variety of traditional art mediums and do-it-yourself skills, her body of work ranges from object-oriented to process based to participatory installations to performance.
With a life full of school, work, arts organizing, and an overwhelming social life, Etta’s current work focuses on documenting these daily activities, her emotions and reactions to them, and where they take her geographically in Chicago.
