Cecelia Chapman is an American artist whose works in moving and still image, “are metaphysical experiments in limits of consciousness. Balancing meditative and methodological, and drawing from mythology, cosmos, culture and space, I want to produce innovative visual language that navigates power and transformation.” Parsons School of Design NY, graphic design.
