Chalet Comellas, born in Tampa, Florida, lives and works in Nashville, Tennessee. Her studio practice reflects a personal connection to the complex histories surrounding the Latin Diaspora, and employs expanded forms of painting, sculpture, video, sound, and digital media to engage viewers visually and sonically. Through these experimental time-based frameworks, and the use of audio visual archives, she illuminates the interplay between materiality, spirituality, and technology.
