Cheyenne Echo (b. 1992) is an artist in the Los Angeles-area who uses lens-based media, objects, and paint to explore politicized materializations of the self.  Often with a playful edge, her work points to the manufactured nature of human reality as experienced through self-perception. Her current work examines the construction of identity through the internalization of synthetic objects. She has used plastic objects, toys, mass-produced flags, and processed foods in tandem with tropes of Americana to interrogate artifice. Together, her work indicates an omnipresent simulation - a taxonomy of the fake.
