Sympathie Fahteague is the online persona of Cynde Balent. Balent is a practicing artist who uses Instagram as a public visual journal.
Sympathies’ practice starts with an external experience, and then an experimental, automatist response creating a loop of ongoing response, act, react, and experimentation.
During this process, a few themes make themselves known in the inevitable failure to be random. Human and imagined bodies, internal biological systems, and monsters often arise.
