VISUAL ANSWERS TO WORDED QUESTIONS / SASHA CRESDEE PROFILE

1.Please describe your creative process.

SASHA CRESDEE Q1[2]

Currently studying Fine Art at Chelsea College of Art,  Sasha Cresdee documents herself through lo-fi self portraiture, still life assemblages and collage that remove and examine her physical form, and explore “voids, textures, print, colour, the self and how these elements occupy space within the photographic image”. Personal yet generic ephemera that evidence the passage of adolescence to adulthood. These hallmarks of Tumblr’s selfie generation form the environment of artist Sasha Cresdee’s work.
