About the artist

Artist and writer Casey Carsel unravels the complexities and constructions of cultural belonging and home in diaspora, from stories to jokes to the clothes on one’s back and the food on one’s table. What is cherished and how is it held? What is left behind? What is lost in translation? The interdisciplinary works that result from these questions are imbued by dybbuks, golems, ancestors, and the visual, oral, and written languages that hold them.

Casey earned an MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and a BFA from the University of Auckland, and has held residencies and fellowships with the New York Public Library, Tides Museum of Art, and Fulbright Ukraine, amongst others.
