About Me
BIOGRAPHY
Xtina Loizeaux Stillwaggon is a multimedia artist and educator based in Crested Butte, Colorado. She uses a variety of art mediums to create a relationship between one material or object and another. In her work Wal-Mart’s Basic Beliefs: Respect for the Individual she used a neon sign (Wal-Mart’s company logo) on top of a cyanotype photograph of a woman in the aftermath 2013 Savar Fabric Factory Collapse in Bangladesh. The failure to uphold their ideal Respect for the Individual is shown through contrasting the logo (belief) with the devastating image (reality).
