Welcome to the Bunker Questionnaire, a series in which we ask Bunker Projects residents and exhibiting artists a few questions based on Marcel Proust’s famous Proust Questionnaire, a survey that purported to reveal a person’s true nature. We hope their answers and the accompanying photos allow you to get to know them and their work a little bit more.
Txai Sibley (they/she) is a self-taught, mixed-media artist born and raised in Brooklyn, NY. In 2025, they graduated from University of Michigan with a Ph.D. in Materials Science Engineering while also maintaining a reflective artistic practice throughout their doctoral work. Sibley’s art is rooted in playful introspection and serendipity, serving as an expansive diary and spiritual tool.
Describe yourself in three words.
“Thinking, playing, growing.”
Who are your favorite artists/the ones who’ve influenced you most?
“My favorite artist is the cartoonish Jim Woodring. What is life but a barely sensical parable?”
What is your idea of happiness?
“Playful presence and softened subjectivity.”
What is your idea of happiness?
“Having agency over my time.”
