Arden Ellis Surdam is a student of the California Institute of the Arts, Valencia.
My work is deeply informed by the intersection of gender and camouflage. I disguise the human form in an attempt to bring awareness to the anonymity of the self. By obscuring the face of my subjects, I aim to intrigue and frustrate the viewer, in order to draw a correlation between the history of masking, marginalization, and assimilation.
The convergence of sculpture and photography is integral to my process because the masks within the photographs create dimensionality in a two- dimensional form.
