Caitlin Hackett







Brooklyn-based artist Caitlin Hackett explores the boundaries between humans and animals in her extremely detailed drawings and paintings. Her body of work comments on the idea that humans are an above, more evolved species than other animals, and aims to blur the line between species by superimposing natural and animalistic features onto human forms, and vise versa. As an artist, she questions the differences between humans and animals, and therefore questions the definition of humanity itself.






















Breaking the Ice...

First off, a little intro about the site. My name is Evee, and I created BrightGreenSweater to serve as a place for me to share my own artwork, as well as the works of other artists that I admire. I've been struggling to find an art blog that does a good job of keeping up with work (contemporary or otherwise), and hope that BrightGreenSweater may become one of the few good ones out there. Hopefully you'll find something that you resonate with. I'll keep the posts as relevant as possible, containing either my recent ongoing works (including sketches, assignments from studio, etc.), or pieces by other artists. Bright Green Sweater is open to work of any media--including 2-D work, sculpture, music, poetry...there are loads of different artistic media and processes!

Feel free to give me feedback or ask questions!
