Torreya Cummings is a project-based visual artist working with ideas of space, place, and time. Their work ranges from photo and sculpture to installation, performance and video with a particular emphasis on making spaces for action. Cummings uses drag aesthetics, hardware store materials, the unsettling relationship of history and fiction, the paradoxes of life in the west, ambivalence, theater tricks, bad illusions, props, sets, and interpretive sites. They showed work in Bay Area Now 7 at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, have presented performances with Machine Project, Southern Exposure, and the McEvoy Foundation for the Arts, among others. Cummings received an MFA in sculpture from California College of the Arts and lives and works in Oakland, CA.
