Artist, Writer, & Educator
Caitlin Mary Margarett Sørensdatter is an American artist working in performance and contemporary craft. Through the combination of antiques and handmade objects, CMM generates memoir and autotheory-based work that aims to invoke apparitions; that which cannot be recovered or fully known. By evoking nostalgia and solastalgia, her cyclical, symmetrical, and hyper-repetitive performative projects demand the analysis of our ties to place, ancestry, and future as we brace for the full impact of our climate crisis. She holds an MFA in 4D from University of Wisconsin-Madison, and a BFA in performance art and BA in art history from University of Northern Iowa.
Her work has been shown throughout the Midwest; at 2022's Fringe Arts Bath festival in Bath, England; at 2021's Miami Art Week as a part of the PERFORMANCE IS ALIVE / Satellite Show that runs concurrent with Art Basel Miami; at Louisiana State University for the 2019 Queeramics Symposium; in Ceramics Monthly; Emergency Index V. 8 and V. 9; and Aesthetica Magazine.
