Conner Bormann

To share space and problem-solve with other artists through the course of a creative process excites me. Using storytelling as a means to build work, revealing layers of myself, and getting to witness the choices of the artists around me helps me feel grounded in my day-to-day life. I love finding the humor in things, and not taking myself, or life, too seriously. Taking the weight off of my brain and letting my body do the thinking is where I find freedom. – Conner
