I was a shitty teen and I have proof
In the 1990’s, communication between friends was a hand-written note passed in secret. These notes contained the author’s ugliest moments, with the hopes that the recipient was the sole reader.
Pulling from an archive spanning the entirety of her early formidable years, Lindsey Way explores the underbelly of adolescence with a stockpile of dangerous thoughts, expressions of self-destruction, and declarations of inner-loathing . Inspired by the contents within them, Shitty Teen is a selection of the notes, re-purposed and re-imagined as raw mixed media paintings- creating a visceral adaption of Lindsey’s teenage life.
Having attended The Pratt Institute, Lindsey Way is a visual artist whose work has been shown nationally. She is a musician that has toured around the world, playing bass in the electro-punk band Mindless Self Indulgence. She currently resides in California.
