Angeline Meitzler

Artist Statement

Angeline Marie Michael Meitzler is a writer and experimental 3D animator (b.1992, Warren, MI). Her work utilizes fiction, history and natural phenomenon to engage with the complexities of cultural value. Inspired by etiological myths and causation stories originating from the Philippines, her work contends with familial and personal narratives that remain in-service to colonial legacies through embodying natural phenomenon and the environment as a dynamic character; a radical global and local force possessing the potential to be both destructive and liberatory.
