Wyatt Naoki Conlon (b. 1991, Los Angeles, CA) is an image-based artist who works with found and taken source material to examine ancestral history, shared memory, and the act of recollection. His work draws from family archives, organizing and contextualizing photographs to trace how images and people move through—and play with—time. Through research and systematic sequencing, he builds dense visual compositions that consider how the past is shaped and reshaped over time. His process often involves reordering, repetition, and accumulation, allowing meaning to emerge through structure rather than singular images.
