Bio
Marissa Cote (she/her) is an artist working close to Boston, MA. Cote received her BFA in the Studio for Interrelated Media and Fiber from the Massachusetts College of Art and Design. Her interdisciplinary practice seeks to understand ((to know) ourselves, each other, and the systems and places that we inhabit), to consider how and when we connect with one another, and to experiment with and imagine new ways of communicating and being in the world with the person next to us (you, me).
