Dawn Nye earned an MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art in New Media and Design. Since then, her work has been screened and shown nationally and internationally in film festivals and art galleries, most notably The Art Kitchen in Milan, The Torpedo Gallery, and the CICA Museum in South Korea.
Her current exhibit, American Conversations, marks the start of a new body of work pertaining to the conversations and stories we tell ourselves and others every day. Through looking at formative moments in her subjects’ lives, she asks the questions: at what point do our disparate stories meet? And when does the personal become universal? Combining interviews, animation, and print media, her work aims to transcend traditional documentary and reveal these intimate stories in a way that honors our collective experience.
