Kayla Massey: Artists Now! Lecture

Kayla Massey
Claire Haggarty

Kayla Massey, a graduate student at UW-Milwaukee focusing on photography, came to discuss her undergraduate project My Nurse Today is…. This incredibly intimate and personal work is about her undergoing cancer treatment and documenting her physical change throughout the process.  She photographed this as a documentary project but also as a coping mechanism to help herself through her difficult situation.   



She continued on in her talk about her current project and her various  trials, errors, triumphs and failures that went into creating it.  Like many of the other artist now lecture series, I found her talk illuminating as to how others go through their own artistic process as well as how she plans on going on with her art in the future.
