Hallie Lederer

I work across painting, cartoons, collage, and design, exploring themes of belonging, sacrifice, and consumer culture. My practice investigates how memory and identity shape everyday life and how systems of consumption influence what we value and what we discard. Collage allows me to layer histories and voices, design structures ideas, and cartoons provide immediacy and fun. Across these forms, I examine the intersections of history, memory, patriotism, consumer capitalism, and religion by examining how belief systems and cultural narratives shape how we create meaning in our lives.
