@flush_gallery.
(b. 1995) is a new york–based multimedia artist and technologist working across printmaking, installation, video, performance, sound, websites, and digital media. she holds a BA in animation from the university of the west of england and an MFA in integrated practices from pratt institute.
her work sits somewhere between data, imagination, and reality. placing real objects alongside degraded digital imagery, she stages the gap between what happened and what memory keeps—between the actual and the traumatic. drawing on a retro digital vocabulary shaped by her childhood at the edge of the early internet, she distorts icons and interfaces to expose how screens and algorithms reconfigure intimacy, materiality, and agency in a hyper-networked, increasingly surveilled world. living with lupus since 2017, gillette treats the body turning against itself as a lens on humanity's relationship to technology and the planet, each strained by extraction and self-erosion. through hybrid analogue-digital experiments, she asks how trauma, climate, and code intertwine, and whether the "real" and the virtual can be reconciled.
