About Mazzy
Mazzy Booth (b. New Brunswick, NJ, 1999) received their B.F.A from Herron School of Art and Design, Indianapolis in 2023.
Booth’s work views humanity through the lens of theater, an ongoing performance of identity, emotion, and societal expectations. Using painting, illustration, and video to explore how gender roles, religious symbolism, and cultural rituals operate like scripted roles in a larger stage production. Often drawing from their own experiences, Booth creates narrative scenes and self-portraits that reflect the tension between performance and authenticity. Emotions become props, gender becomes a costume, and belief systems become sets, each contributing to the illusion of stability within our social norms. Through this theatrical lens, Booth invites viewers to question what roles they play, how they are cast, and whether these performances can be rewritten.
