Forrest McGarvey is an artist and writer working in the San Francisco Bay Area. In his interdisciplinary practice, he explores how the objects and media we enjoy affect how we define ourselves. He is interested in the circulation and consumption of images as a mirror affecting our abilities of perception and representation both on and off screen. Through fantastical and intimate images, he depicts themes of ownership, performativity, agency, and the embodiment of the self that blurs the lines between digital and physical, real and virtual, and fiction and reality.
His work has been featured as both an artist and a writer in multiple print publications and exhibitions both domestically and internationally. He received an MA in Visual and Critical Studies and an MFA in Fine Arts from the California College of the Arts. Forrest also holds a BFA in Fine Arts from the C.W. Post Campus of Long Island University.
