BRITTANY METZ. ARTIST. EDUCATOR.

Brittany Metz is an installation and new media artist creating work through self-awareness that encourages introspection and contemplation. The short cyclical nature of her video work is meditative, allowing the viewer to discover connections to the images presented through each cycle. This looping of multilayered video is somewhat disorienting leaving the viewer questioning the time or place of her dreamlike spaces and most importantly, their place in this space.

Metz received a BA in Studio Art from Rollins College and an MFA in Emerging Media: Studio Art & the Computer from the University of Central Florida. She has exhibited nationally and internationally. Metz lives and works in Orlando, Florida where she is a professor of Art & Design.

I am inspired by the human experience; creating artwork from my perspective, as a person navigating through this world and existing in this space with others, is all I truly know and is the most honest work I can do. My work attempts to piece together memories of the past, filling the voids but also, in contrast, addressing the nagging unforgotten memories one wishes to erase. Our mental state is constantly in flux, oscillating between the past and future. Ultimately, holding the viewer in the present through the experiences I create, similar to meditation, is my desire.
