sallyspitz

Sally Spitz is a 21 year-old multi-media artist living and working in Los Angeles. Her work explores issues of sexual and social identity through video, photography, and comic diary. She is concerned mostly with the positioning of herself with a historiography of feminist artworks, Andrea Fraser, Catherine Opie, Francesca Woodman and Diamanda Galás being of primary influence. Spitz draws from personal experience to start conversations that should trump racial and psychosocial boundaries laid down by heterosexist patriarchy. She seeks to “find her tribe” in making work that is accessible, with the potential to be distributed on a mass scale, while negotiating the archetypal and romantic image of the artist as social “outcast.”
