Cindy Mason, a visual artist, uses installation, painting and sculpture to investigate how we control and are controlled by meaning through phenomenological aspects of public and private space. Sources of inspiration are the architectonic communication of language and the semiotics of our built environment. Her interest lies in exploiting the contradiction between what we know to be there and what we actually see. Materials such as paint, hair, paper towels, pins, wood, hot glue, 24.75k gold leaf, aluminum foil and porcelain become explorations of societal value systems. Mason received her MFA at the University of South Florida and BFA from Ringling College. She is the recipient of an Honorable Mention in the Visual Arts by CAA, a Florida Artist Enhancement Grant and has been selected for artist residences at Jentel, Banner WY and the School of Visual Arts, NY. She currently lives in St. Petersburg, FL.
