Whitney Claflin (b. 1983, Providence, RI) lives and works in New York. She works in painting, drawing, photography, video, and sculptural intervention. Following the associative logic of a mixtape or poem, the works express transient states of intensity. References and subcultural symbols—such as nods to 1970s flower-power paraphernalia, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, beloved New York bars, and the late-90s DIY scene of her teens in Providence, Rhode Island—suffuse her work with varying degrees of legibility.
