Hey there! My name is
Claire Dossey (she/her),
I’m originally from Texas, now based in NYC. I’m recently graduated with my BFA in Communication
Design at Parsons School of Art and Design.
In my work, I like to experiment with color and form through playful and witty concepts that connect to social activism, specifically feminism. I am also driven to explore how fun and unpredictable design
can be expressed in a commercial context, going
beyond personal gratification.

Thesis
Mothership explores the constructed nature of womanhood through sci-fi aesthetics, conceptual videos, and critical analysis. Patriarchy defines women by their reproductive roles, shaping both their experiences and self-perception. Influenced by A Cyborg Manifesto and Body Without Organs theory, the project examines the body as a contested space—manipulated by external forces.
The videos Rabbit Catcher, Body Politics, and The Engineer deconstruct patriarchal narratives through striking visuals. A companion book expands this critique with collages and notes.
By merging speculative aesthetics with critical discourse, Mothership challenges artificial definitions of womanhood and imagines new possibilities for autonomy.
