You can often find St. Louis artist and set designer on the banks of the Mississippi River, picking up stones, metal and even animal bones.
Cassidy has long used such items to create installation art. Now, as a set designer, she’s created a fantastical, 71-by-37-foot world, punctuated by colored lights. It’s the backdrop for Mustard Seed Theatre’s revival of its very first play, about a handful of survivors marking Christmas in a dystopian world.
In our latest podcast, we talk with Cassidy about designing the backdrop for the chaotic holiday and how being a child of divorce forged her fascination with objects.
