Stevie Gordon is a multimedia artist currently residing in Northern Virginia. They are currently an Art and Visual Technology Student for New Media and Graphic Design at George Mason University’s School of Art. Which they will be graduating from in Fall 2022. In addition, Stevie is currently overseeing the construction of the website for the Senior’s Fall Exhibition Show, which will also showcase some of the works produced in their Discontentment series.
In the Discontent collection, I have created a series of images that use altered photographs, and traditional and digital illustration techniques to reckon with physical and mental afflictions I’ve experienced. My compositions can also be described as intense. As it is for many artists, the process of creating art can be a therapeutic one and therefore often used as a coping mechanism. Gordon also uses this technique. Being both queer and disabled individual, as well an Asian American, they have often felt out of place or unhappy in numerous circumstances. Situations such as those can often lead to feelings such as rage, estrangement, and even helplessness. It is this sort of strong emotion that serves as the muse for the artist’s more intense compositions.
