Travis Shaffer is a visual artist whose work engages spatial and institutional communities through a discourse with contemporary visual culture. Thematically Shaffer's work addresses
questions regarding the nature of commercial and cultural branding; notions of access and diversity; land-use, the built environment, and auto-centricity; the nature of spatially dictated identity; and the formation of isolated communal
brands.

Shaffer's work is held in many private and public collections including the Brooklyn Museum's Libraries & Archives collection and Yale University's Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library.

Shaffer was born in southwestern Pennsylvania and currently lives and works in Lawrence, KS. He is
