BIOGRAPHY
Cash was born in Poplar Bluff, MO and raised in Raleigh, NC. She earned a BA in Art from Meredith College and an MFA from UNC-Chapel Hill. Cash's work deals with obsession - of drawing, mark-making, mechanical devices, food, and the body. As Cash works on her drawings, she tries to capture the detailed and disturbing nature of the psyche. She is interested in paranoia of one's own body image, and she connects this systematic paranoia to mechanical devices. Cash's drawings concentrate on the way these two elements work together and the tension they create.
