Cory Feder (b. 1993, Greensboro, NC) is a multidisciplinary artist working across Colcha, ceramics, drawing, painting and animation.
Inspired by the childlike perception of endless wonder, her work lingers in the interplay of the natural world, folklore and the divine. By working with symbols and reinterpreting their meaning through the change of context, Feder creates a visual language that weaves between the conscious and the subconscious. Invoking the origins of nostalgia; its roots meaning both “homecoming” and “pain”, Feder recalls collective memory by carrying forwards traditions of her Korean and Jewish lineage as well as intimate memory from dreams, thoughts and personal memory. Most comfortable in the realm of ambiguity and the unidentified, she explores the possibilities of the collision of unnoticed miracle and consciousness that create the everyday moment.
Cory was raised in Denver, CO, received her BFA from School of the Art Institute of Chicago and currently lives and works in Santa Fe, NM.
