Autumn Samone (she/they), an interdisciplinary creative, uses their identities as a neurodivergent black person to explore tensions existing in, fluctuating through and pushing against systems that are designed to contain an individual's state of being. In her practice, architectonic motifs, pseudo-spatial imagery and flesh adjacents serve as proxies that are used to invite and release the material conditions of the psyche’s tenuous existence.
Autumn was a previous Aunspaugh Fellow at the University of Virginia where they graduated with a B.A. in Studio Art in 2024. She is currently a Freeman Artist Resident.
