Grace is exploring other media as well, including textiles, ceramics, and video art.

Her practice is a space where dirt, bones and jars of microscopic algal communities meet costumes, wigs and jars of glass glitter; where queerness and an unruly curiosity for the natural world guide research and artistic exploration.

As a photographer, they primarily work with film. Using analog practices offers a tactile and embodied approach to image making, one that mirrors the human experience of physicality and possibility to err. As a photographer with a visual impairment, the language afforded through these discoveries is a vital part of their practice. Grace is exploring other media as well, including textiles, ceramics, and video art.

Her practice is a space where dirt, bones and jars of microscopic algal communities meet costumes, wigs and jars of glass glitter; where queerness and an unruly curiosity for the natural world guide research and artistic exploration.

As a photographer, they primarily work with film. Using analog practices offers a tactile and embodied approach to image making, one that mirrors the human experience of physicality and possibility to err. As a photographer with a visual impairment, the language afforded through these discoveries is a vital part of their practice. Grace is exploring other media as well, including textiles, ceramics, and video art.

Her practice is a space where dirt, bones and jars of microscopic algal communities meet costumes, wigs and jars of glass glitter; where queerness and an unruly curiosity for the natural world guide research and artistic exploration.

As a photographer, they primarily work with film. Using analog practices offers a tactile and embodied approach to image making, one that mirrors the human experience of physicality and possibility to err. As a photographer with a visual impairment, the language afforded through these discoveries is a vital part of their practice. Grace is exploring other media as well, including textiles, ceramics, and video art.

Her practice is a space where dirt, bones and jars of microscopic algal communities meet costumes, wigs and jars of glass glitter; where queerness and an unruly curiosity for the natural world guide research and artistic exploration.

Using analog practices offers a tactile and embodied approach to image making, one that mirrors the human experience of physicality and possibility to err. As a photographer with a visual impairment, the language afforded through these discoveries is a vital part of their practice. Grace is exploring other media as well, including textiles, ceramics, and video art.

Her practice is a space where dirt, bones and jars of microscopic algal communities meet costumes, wigs and jars of glass glitter; where queerness and an unruly curiosity for the natural world guide research and artistic exploration.

As a photographer, they primarily work with film. Using analog practices offers a tactile and embodied approach to image making, one that mirrors the human experience of physicality and possibility to err. As a photographer with a visual impairment, the language afforded through these discoveries is a vital part of their practice. Grace is exploring other media as well, including textiles, ceramics, and video art.

Using analog practices offers a tactile and embodied approach to image making, one that mirrors the human experience of physicality and possibility to err.

Grace is exploring other media as well, including textiles, ceramics, and video art.

Her practice is a space where dirt, bones and jars of microscopic algal communities meet costumes, wigs and jars of glass glitter; where queerness and an unruly curiosity for the natural world guide research and artistic exploration.

As a photographer, they primarily work with film. Using analog practices offers a tactile and embodied approach to image making, one that mirrors the human experience of physicality and possibility to err. As a photographer with a visual impairment, the language afforded through these discoveries is a vital part of their practice. Grace is exploring other media as well, including textiles, ceramics, and video art.

Her practice is a space where dirt, bones and jars of microscopic algal communities meet costumes, wigs and jars of glass glitter; where queerness and an unruly curiosity for the natural world guide research and artistic exploration.

As a photographer, they primarily work with film. Using analog practices offers a tactile and embodied approach to image making, one that mirrors the human experience of physicality and possibility to err. As a photographer with a visual impairment, the language afforded through these discoveries is a vital part of their practice. Grace is exploring other media as well, including textiles, ceramics, and video art. With a previous background in ecology and biology, their work arises out of the mythologies and hypotheses of the scientific world, exploring sites of tension or incoherence.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ELily Regalia (she\/her)\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cspan\u003E is a painter born in Saint Paul, Minnesota and based in Phoenix, Arizona.
