Bio: Bec Imrich (b. 1992) is an artist and writer, born in Cambridge, MA, and living/working in San Francisco while lecturing in UC Berkeley’s department of Art Practice. Imrich’s interdisciplinary practice moves between drawing, photography, and sculpture.

Statement: My work mines the liminal space where elements of vaguely ominous domestic environments and paranoid interior worlds intersect with the shared pressures of internalized capitalism, alienation, and (environ)mental precarity. The images that I draw are often side doors to processing buried memories, but they usually work in reverse—forging significance out of the quotidian as a way to process the world. My approach to images is slippery. I use the practice of drawing to isolate particular elements, remove/confuse context, and foreground an overworked/belabored sense of time, extending the cadence to slowly digest images that are a pebble in my shoe, or cause emotional flashbacks to other times/places/ideas/occurrences.
