Presentation Summary:
Nashley Nunez, a Fine Arts junior and illustrator, explores the intersection of the mystical and the mundane. Her portfolio presentation reveals an artistic journey rooted in her upbringing in Union City and Guttenberg, where art served as a vital emotional escape. Through her statement and bio, Nashley details a practice defined by a dialogue between digital programs and traditional mediums like gouache and adobe illustrator.
Influenced by the intricate flow of James Jean and the cultural depth of Dominican Costumbrism, Nashley’s featured works examine the "haunted domestic"—the tension between home safety and the untamed natural world. The presentation highlights her technical evolution from sketchbook drafts to complex, multi-layered illustrations.
Finally, Nashley proposes her next major installation, "Politeness is a Cage." This series uses heavy bead curtains, rice-paste collage, and glow-in-the-dark outlines to document the transition from girlhood to womanhood. By blending Taino mythology with visceral personal narratives, she aims to transform "quiet" social traumas into a loud, visual dialogue that reclaims personal autonomy.
