Addyson Hoey is a mixed media based artist from Sapulpa, Oklahoma. She holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the University of Arkansas with an emphasis in Drawing + Photography and is a current Master of Fine Arts Candidate at Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri.

Addyson’s practice shuffles the digital realm back into physical material in a looping system, to reflect the ever-increasing presence of technology within our daily lives; just as our own experiences occur in the physical space, are processed through the digital realm, and then remerge in lived spaces. Her studio practice starts with digital images of physical paintings, which she transfers back onto wood panels. She then sands the surfaces to reveal the physicality of the medium, ultimately merging the digital and physical material. Addyson applys paint to evoke an illusion of space, drawing attention to both the history of painting and the graphic design culture, using elements such as the drop shadow. By foregrounding functional tools that create space, Addyson aims to turn the often-overlooked elements into primary subjects of her paintings.
