CAYLA SKILLIN-BRAUCHLE

Illusions & Portals, 2019 was a field experiment and series of brief performances in which the artist used the velocity of the wind, pieces of fabric, her body, and a self-timer camera to create millisecond-long visual illusions. Vanishing Act, 2021 creates a low-fi portal nestled in the brilliant green of an Oregon winter.

These illusions serve as physical and intellectual training to begin to understand concepts of transformation, flight, transfiguration, and flexibility.  As such, each iteration is a portal to and visualization of possible future worlds.
