Raised with a twin brother in a conservative Christian suburb of Dallas, Connor Walden is an artist currently based in Los Angeles. After spending his formative years as an adult in the liberal, secular cities of Austin and Seattle, Connor finds himself in a state of ambivalence, holding a complex of feelings, ideologies, and communities. Steeped in this current ambivalence and a longing for genuine dialogue, Connor explores the performative and gendered role of individuals and communities in systems of belief through sculpture, performance, video, and installation. He co-founded the seattle residency project and Interloper, the two primary programs of The Milkshake Club, a collaborative duet with Tiffany Danielle Elliott.
