Chloe Cusimano is an interdisciplinary artist who combines photography and fibers to visually anatomize inquiries into queer theory, post-colonial theory, and phenomenology. Their research concerns “queering the grid”: resisting heteronormative constructs and challenging verticality. The tension between the opacity of abstraction and the transparency of image making materially corresponds to Cusimano's own navigation of visibility in their daily life as a gender-expansive person who engages with the public. By intimately manipulating and transposing images to cotton and subsequently weaving, collaging, and quilting the fabric into textile objects, they explore this paradox of visibility.

Cusimano lives and works in Los Angeles. Their work has been featured at the LA Municipal Art Gallery (Los Angeles, CA), Art Share LA (Los Angeles, CA), SAIC Galleries (Chicago, IL), and Ox-Bow Clean Gallery (Saugatuck, MI). They hold an M.F.A. from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (‘24).
