The Plastic Citizen is a Memphis-based multidisciplinary artist and designer whose work explores the space between traditional art, experimental media, and contemporary digital culture.
Working across both physical and digital processes, his practice blends collage, texture creation, graphic experimentation, and unconventional performance-based art projects. Much of his work embraces a DIY, post-punk philosophy, favoring raw materials, distortion, and handmade processes over the polished uniformity that dominates much of modern digital media.
Through these methods, his work often investigates themes of authorship, control, and the evolving relationship between human creativity and automated systems. Humor, satire, and absurdity frequently appear in his projects, serving both as critique and as a way to challenge traditional expectations of what art should be.
Alongside his experimental art practice, he is also the creator of TexturePunk, an archive of handmade textures, scans, and design artifacts collected and produced over decades of creative work. The project celebrates the value of imperfect, human-made materials in an era increasingly saturated with artificial imagery and algorithmic aesthetics.
Outside the studio, he performs as a DJ under the name Plastic Citizen, curating goth, post-punk, industrial, and alternative music for live events and online audiences. These performances extend his artistic practice into sound and community, blending music, atmosphere, and visual culture into a shared creative experience.
Whether through visual experimentation, design archives, or live performance, The Plastic Citizen’s work remains grounded in exploration, curiosity, and a belief that creativity thrives when boundaries between mediums are allowed to dissolve.
