Summer Wagner is an artist from the Rust Belt region of the Midwestern United States. Her work explores the spiritual, ecological, and technological sensibilities of a post-industrial world. Working primarily with lens-based media, she constructs narrative worlds that extend into digital artifacts, installations, and limited or single-edition prints. Her theatrical, story-driven imagery blurs the line between fantasy and reality. Through layered compositions, she invites viewers to reflect on the hidden and subconscious themes embedded in both her work and everyday life.
