Tyler’s work focuses on photography, sculpture and
bookmaking. His work revolves around family, memory, personal struggles, and
how shared experiences can benefit the collective (society). He is interested in
the ways that our shared experiences shape us into who we are. He wants to
capture the emotions connected to experiences because those feelings hold value
for everyone. Chumney uses images of
objects and places that remind him of memories and feelings from his upbringing,
specifically about the relationship he has with his mother. As well as using
objects that hold emotional baggage that are directly related to the
relationships he has. He wants the viewer to feel the experiences and emotions that
he places into his work. The work is a glimpse into the head of the artist, the
images representing the experiences and emotions that have shaped Tyler. He believes
shared experiences are the glue that holds us together without it we wouldn’t be
able to relate and understand one another.
