Artist Statement

Using abstract gestural marks and mixed media materials on canvas, Braeden Cox’s current work is a combination of what she sees in nature but also what she sees in herself. Braeden paints this encounter of views as landscapes and spaces using abstracted natural iconography, and the emotions and stories that spring from these places. These two ideas build on each other until they are so intertwined it’s unknown if the environment inspired the emotion or the other way around.

Digital Work

My digital practice brings together imagery, and occasionally text, to create collages that find harmony, delicacy and humor in the pairing. I’ve used imagery from my own photographs, but I primarily source images from old book illustrations. These images are reimagined into something that feels familiar but otherworldly. I build these compositions in Photoshop, which allows me endless opportunity for creation, but I set boundaries in each series. These rules force me to move beyond the obvious and into a space where I supply guesses to the riddles of the page. In finding the beautiful and the bizarre in the everyday, my work remixes what is known into the viewer’s wildest dreams. It pulls us out of reality, challenges us to take another look at our surroundings, and asks the question “what if?”.
