Hello, my name is Sela Ricketts! I am a visual artist currently located in Oxford, MS. I graduated from The University of Mississippi with degrees in IMC and Art. In addition to the artistic schooling I received at Ole Miss, I supplemented it with instruction in special effects and naturalist artistic practices. I am now a graduate student at Ole Miss studying film and tourism in the Southern Studies department. I base a lot of my pieces on various communication/miscommunication phenomena and the emotions that are elicited from those communications. I draw from any type of communication, why people eat with groups, how biological systems talk to each other, or the conversation a teacher has with a student. I work primarily with sculpture and installation art. I prefer these because they occupy the same space we do, making it easier for people to interact with my work and making communication easier to stimulate.
