Ana Celeste Carpenter: Recent Works

Ana-Celeste is a local vocalist, artist, and poet. As a kid they mastered imagining vivid fantasy landscapes as a form of escapism within a difficult childhood. Their fantasy imaginings have worked their way into the deepest facets of their identity, especially regarding being Taíno (native Puerto Rican) and disconnected from their roots, perpetually seeking out their place in their culture and in the world. Ana has found a loving and exuberant community in Ithaca who inspire them endlessly; they are excited to continue their endeavors and are grateful for the support they receive. Right now they are working on a master’s degree and have just joined a band: stay tuned!

In my work I love to employ all of the essences that delighted me as a fantasy-loving kid: Strange, imaginary landscapes with cosmically unpredictable physics and rules--riddled with objects of arresting beauty and terrifying juxtaposition--disjointed timelines and scattered puzzle-pieces of a larger story; encounters with fantastical beasts and entities; perceptions of characters from alternate worlds; ruins, fairies, quantum physics, mushrooms, beasts, spirits, cathedrals, computers, post-apocalyptic spaces, purgatories, blessings and curses, ancient waking powers, brujería, and old magic meeting new!!!!
