About the Artist
Brooke White is both a practicing artist and an educator specializing in lens based art. White actively exhibits her work nationally and internationally including the Hammer Museum, the Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts, MASSMoCA and the Ogden Museum of Southern Art. Her work has been published in Aint Bad Magazine and Don't Take Pictures and her work is included in the Do Good Fund. She is the recipient of numerous Mississippi Arts Commission grants and was a Senior Fulbright Scholar in India.
As an artist White embraces a cross-disciplinary approach to image making that combines traditional analog techniques alongside digital strategies. In her most recent work she includes a broad range of photographic approaches including digital capture and output, photo-encaustic on paper and historical processes such as wet plate collodion. These approaches, although varied in their technique and visual effect, have been integral to her investigations surrounding memory, place and the landscape, and the role they all play in establishing identity.
