Jennifer Goya makes video art, experimental oral history documentaries, websites, and interactive media installations. Simulations of “paradise” recur throughout her body of work featuring familiar images of Hawaii. Her on-going body of work is inspired by her time selling t-shirts as a teenager in Waikiki.
