Krista Faist

I’ve sought to represent aesthetic over-stimulation that leads to expansiveness of imagination and wonder, much like that experienced in childhood when one visits a candy shop. As a child, I had a strong desire to see all colors and textures at once, including colors never seen before. With each project, I set out to re-capture this feeling of simulated desire and satisfaction. I believe that this desire to satiate our hunger for wonderment with consumerist impulses is innately human, and I hope to bring this incongruence to light with my new works in virtual reality.
