On what moves us, what repels us, and what remains.
Caressa Layne is a writer and cultural practitioner working across literature, visual art, curation, and art advisory.
Through writing, paintings, exhibitions, and editorial work, she creates spaces for deep and authentic engagement with art, literature, and culture.
Caressa’s interdisciplinary practice explores the tension between beauty and disgust. Through visual art, literature, and curatorial work, she investigates the unstable boundaries between attraction and aversion, inviting audiences to reconsider what they find worthy of attention.
Her practice moves between the visual and the literary, from the making of artworks to the interpretation of culture and the creation of spaces for ideas to meet.
