ABOUT
bianca gabrielle goyette works in layers. She uses overlapping elements and media to erode the distance between the real and the imaginary, working with materials and processes that speak to the strength and fragility of the human condition. She is a multitude of things working in a multitude of media. She was once told that people get confused if you are too many things, but as Nancy Shaver says, “confusion gets a bad rap.” She is a storyteller, a vocalist, a writer, a laser etcher, a papermaker, a sculptor, a photographer working in still and moving pictures, and a designer. Her work focuses on personal experiences that have tendrils in the breadth of society. It is her own racial experience, her own social experience, her own political experience, her own experiences with language, communication, community (or the lack thereof), and a perpetual need to rethink understanding.
bianca holds an MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and a BFA from Parsons School of Design. She has released three studio albums and six singles, has performed in venues across the U.S., exhibited her work in numerous galleries in numerous cities, and is a creative director and copywriter specializing in the fabrication of digital assets and experiences that shift how we interact with and perceive the world.
