Momo Gordon is a Portland based, self-taught artist focused on the topic of emotional landscape. Working with graphite and handmade paper their work explores sentient spaces, hostile architecture, and anthropogenic objects. In sequential works or standalone pieces, characters often have four walls.

Momo calls their work sequential fine art, “Which is just a high-brow way of saying comics. It allows me to play the role of gallery artist and comic book author. Growing up I always felt I had to choose between writing and drawing. It wasn’t until my family moved to Seattle my freshman year of high school and I ended up in a book store on Capital Hill. I had never seen experimental comics before but after that day I knew I didn’t have to choose.”
