Bio: Cara Esten Hurtle is a trans artist living in Oakland, California. She has exhibited work at Metal Haus Gallery, Rock Paper Scissors Collective, Queer AF, and Helvella Art.

Statement: As a queer trans woman, unspoken desire has permeated my life; I explore that desire and its long-term presence using the strange artifacts and glitches that emerge in old electronics. I eschew perfection in search of rough edges, I revel in weirdness, and create work that feels haunted and strange.
