Conner Reddan is a New York based multi-disciplinary artist currently residing in Astoria, Queens. Conner grew up on the south shore of Long Island, where he first developed an interest in visual art. His love of illustration, cartooning, and comics as modes of visual storytelling led to him to pursue an undergraduate degree in film production. During his course of study, he enrolled in a studio art class that first exposed him to the medium of analog collage. The collage pieces he creates today are heavily informed by the filmmaking process of composing and juxtaposing images to create a sense of mood and story that extends beyond the frame.
“I use analog collage art as an escape hatch out of plain reality to step deeper into the human experience by cutting, snipping, and shredding whole images into fragments before rearranging them into something more moving or profound. This is a process of undermining certainty in service of questions that only occasionally are met with answers. Using found materials, vintage or discarded magazines and books, images are treated like selective memories refracted through a mirror. Compositions are developed based on the interaction of materials, and all of the qualities of the image – be it the subject, texture, color, paper stock, etc. – have a voice in the dialogue. I often work on many pieces at the same time, guided by the resonance between images and observing the way they attract to each other like magnets. “ -Conner Reddan
