Thresholds of Perception: Exploring the (un)Seen, (un)Heard, and (un)Felt

Centering on the idea of crossing boundaries between what is tangible and intangible, and how art can expand the boundaries of perception, inviting audiences to engage in deeper layers of experience.

Cass Pangell is an interdisciplinary artist whose work traverses the intricate intersections of emotion, color, and perception, dissolving the boundaries between personal expression and shared experience. Cass engages in multidisciplinary creation to explore the dynamics of silence and space alongside the vibrancy of noise and color.

Guided by a deep, childlike curiosity and introspection, their work reflects a profound dialogue with the self, others, and the cosmos. For Cass, art is both a mirror and a bridge—a means to navigate, understand, and communicate the complexities of existence. By weaving together color, movement, and soundscapes drawn from their inner world, they redefine the boundaries of play and artistic exploration.

"Some do it with math and science, some by playing the violin—I do it with creation," Cass says, encapsulating their passion for transforming introspection into innovative expressions of beauty and connection.
