Dimitra Skandali is a multimedia artist. She writes: “the experience of growing up on Paros, an island in the Aegean Sea in Greece, and my journey since then to build a community across the oceans, is central to my work. I carry my island with me everywhere and it shapes the way I see the world. I create installations inspired by their exhibition spaces weaving together found elements from those locales to create ethereal forms; reminders of the sea, with its openness and possibilities, as well as its fragile and unstable limitations. The process of familiarizing myself with these new places through the search for materials helps me to weave together points of connection in an ever-expanding web, even if only temporarily.”

Skandali’s work has been exhibited in the U.S., Holland, and Greece. She was born in Athens, Greece, and lives and works in the United States and Greece.
