Candice Malyn Corgan is an interdisciplinary artist from the Midwest. She was born in 1990, in Kenner, Louisiana but grew up in southern Missouri running around farms and watching the Simpsons, with little to no supervision. She received her BFA from Southeast Missouri State University (Cape Girardeau, Missouri), where she specialized in printmaking. This love of process led her to study at Tamarind Institute of Fine Art Lithography (Albuquerque, New Mexico), where she received certificates as a Tamarind Trained Printer and Tamarind Trained Master Printer. She received her MFA in Studio Arts from Syracuse University (Syracuse, New York). Candice is currently based in St. Charles, Missouri.

My work highlights the absurdity found in the mundane; using humor and play to discuss bleak realities about our contemporary culture. I look at the fine line between the dualities of joy and boredom. Dreams and reality. Hope and failed expectations. Through playful interaction and whimsy, I analyze our culture of affirmation and distraction. My current studio practice involves human observation, found image, amateur photography, material play, ready-mades, screenprint, hand-drawn CMYKs and taking more steps than necessary to get to a simple gesture. Using my own experience and byway of observational research, I draw references from the contemporary human experience. I look at how humans interact in the world. I use absurd means to approach the bittersweet. I search for meaning in nothing.
