Bio
Jack Catlett (b. 2000) is a Kentucky-born and New York-based visual artist. Catlett's work explores our relationship with the natural universe through the lens of a paralleled reality he calls the aminal-plane. He works with both found and purchased materials from the aminal-plane: plants, dirt, and sticks, in contrast with consumer packaging, industrial materials, and artificial intelligence. The latter are supplied by the Flāv Corporation, the largest supplier of happiness on the aminal-plane. Catlett himself is an employee of the Flāv Corp and finds himself entangled between the chaotic yet beautiful sublime force of nature and his powerful employer that uses appropriated facades of propaganda for control. Through the complex narratives of coexisting systems and organisms on the aminal-plane, Catlett questions the true definition of nature in our own human-centric reality through sculpture, drawing, performance, and installation.
