Cameron Stetz is a queer director, animator, and visual artist born and raised on the New Hampshire seacoast. A fascination with fashion, the human figure, and animated films featuring strong women spawned a desire to have a hand in media depicting voices otherwise not heard from in mainstream culture. A recent graduate of Massachusetts College of Art & Design, Cameron experiments with various media and creative art forms in order to bring his message to the forefront of his work.
"Design must seduce, shape, and perhaps more importantly, evoke an emotional response." April Greiman's view on visual arts is comparable to my own process of art-making. The work I produce is a direct translation of my experiences in the society I live in. Providing lenses through which my audience can view, my biggest priority is to evoke a feeling—whether that is discomfort, pleasure, or sadness—as it pertains directly to my own experiences/viewpoint. Tools I frequently use are hyperbole, metaphor, and system supportive messages; my medium of choice tends to emerge after determining the precise message I want delivered to my audience. Through it, I strive to offer a glimpse of queer identity to those not familiar with the culture.
