ABOUT

          Sea Dax is an interdisciplinary artist and maker who currently lives and works in Cincinnati, Ohio. He acquired his BFA at the Art Academy of Cincinnati in 2012. Sea has exhibited at many galleries including Clifton Cultural Arts Center, The Carnegie, Kennedy Heights Arts Center, Wavepool Gallery, and the Contemporary Arts Center. Presently, he is a first year MFA candidate at the University of Cincinnati’s School of Art DAAP Program. He has released his first album titled "Six" as of summer 2022, and began showing his ever evolving collection of works titled "trans[land]scapes" in 2024. His current body of work explores themes of found family, queer temporalities, the function of memory, and the concept of home.

         "Rooted in a persistent fear of forgetting, my practice interrogates the fluid and fallible nature of memory through the collection and examination of personal ephemera. I explore the ways in which absence leaves an indelible imprint, asserting that what cannot be consciously recalled may still be felt. Through an interdisciplinary approach that merges painting, collage, and assemblage, I engage with trans temporalities, queer existence, and the shifting constructs of home and family. By positioning remembrance as both an intimate act and a mode of resistance, my work seeks to honor personal and collective histories while challenging the erasures imposed by time and societal forces."

His current body of work serves as a companion to "Trans[land]scapes," named "Trans[still]lives," exploring the concept of trans objects to insert medical transition into an art historical context as a magical process of becoming, and to convey the preciousness of quotidian ephemeral objects and the active relationships we have with them throughout life.
