About Krystle's Artwork: Brown's recent work revolves around the psychological effects of economic class, ritual, and being at odds with one’s environment. Combining these motifs, she creates video installations, sculpture, photography, and performance that bridge between the morbid and the sardonic. They use personal storytelling to drive the concepts and aesthetics that are in conversation with the suburban/urban gothic paradigm. Situated uncomfortably between the aspirations of the American Dream and “white trash”, Brown's work grapples my hybrid economic class and social identity. They question and attempt to solve whether a society decides that there are different levels of value placed on what we hold dear like our physical homes, the objects within them, and the neighborhoods surrounding them.
