Brittany Vega was born in Bradenton, Florida, and was raised throughout various cities in the southeastern United States. Her current work is centered on the life of politically charged objects while focusing on process exploration through materials, primarily construction through textiles and sewing, painting, and print. She draws inspiration from personal collections of such objects and historical documentation to investigate how these things act as symbols in the context of American-ness, and furthermore how they can be misconstrued.
