Sheila Goloborotko is a multidisciplinary artist who engages in a restless, relentless material practice that allows singular ideas to emerge in the guise of numerous artistic actions. Her work embodies a sensitive and faithful auto-ethnographic examination of contemporaneous issues as a form of resistance and poetic activism. Resulting works take symbols of intransience, impermanence, and stasis—natural systems, founding documents, language, and democracy itself—to make them changeable, shifting, active, unsettled. In an ideal merging of method and message, Goloborotko invites us into the chaos to find meaning and to engage in important questions about our relationship with nature, information, and one another.

CURATORIAL SCOPE:
My creative research focuses on print media as the graphic science of democracy—a tool that fosters community building and information sharing to create new socio-political ecologies. I investigate ways that feasibility, sustainability, and venture creation are the natural outgrowths of an ethical printmaking, grassroots-run, people-powered society. My practice and efforts serve as a bridge between individual mastery and community activism, exploring the shifting boundaries of the information age as it relates to multiples and collective Consciousness.
