About
August Payne is an artist based in and originating from New York. Their practice ranges in topics of exploration, often using sculpture, video, and performance to convey messages. As a Black and Queer artist, they find interest in analyzing the political connotations to their identity, and regularly include archival material to explore family dynamics. A consistent theme in Augusts’ work is feelings of nostalgia, their refined quality video work and use of crude editing create aged pieces that are reminiscent of old memories and dream-like states.
