Sally Richardson

Sally Richardson is an experimental video and new media artist from Birmingham, Alabama. She studied film and video at Bennington College in Vermont. In her ongoing VHS Dream Factory project she uses found footage from analogue sources, culled from the discards of her generation’s childhood. Her work exaggerates and responds to the outmoded patina of the videos to evoke feelings of wonder and escapism. She recontextualizes the footage into visually inviting moments of hypnagogic metamorphosis, playing with themes of isolation, distraction, and transformation.
