SELECTED ARTIST BIOS
Amy Cella is a San Francisco based artist who uses light and shadow, mirrors and glass, and dust and dirty walls in her photographs to document her experience of space.
Lindsey Filowitz is a Bay Area photographer whose series Untitled explores a woman’s transformation from honeymoon to heartbroken, and challenges photography’s relationship to truth by juxtaposing memoir with fiction.
Analía Gutiérrez is an Argentinian photographer based in San Francisco. Her series Exposed focuses on portraying the gaze of different women through shop windows.
ALEXANDMUSHI is a collaboration between two artists Alex Nichols and Mushi Wooseong James, who consider themselves to be “artists as anthropologists.” Using art systems to isolate different forms of verbal and nonverbal languages across multiple cultures they examine the unifying core forms of communication and connection.

Rachel Liu is a project-based artist, art educator, and fine art photographer specializing in traditional photographic capture and printing methods. The hand painted silver gelatin prints in her series The Family Album re-contextualize her own family’s photographic archives to create her own fictional family album.
