Troy Gua

Born and raised in Seattle, I am passionately creative: a self-taught artist, designer, maker, and tinkerer, hoping to cultivate smart, bold work in a diverse range of media, produced with wit and a crisp visual aesthetic. The idea comes first, the media of choice is whatever best serves the idea, and the methods of fabrication are as wide in scope as the results. My subject matter is fluid, but recurring themes focus on identity, recognition, and perception, with nods to contemporary culture and art historical references, underscored and sewn together with my unique visual language, always hoping to stretch the bounds of what art is and can be.
