Kristen is a photographic artist and educator who recently relocated to Albuquerque, NM, after serving as Visiting Assistant Professor at the University of South Florida in 2024-2025. Kristen has previously taught at the University of Tampa, the University of South Carolina, and the University of New Mexico, where they earned an MFA in 2018. Their artistic practice centers the subjectivities of stewardship, as they translate and amplify the archive of late photographic artist Jaroslaw Studencki. Hoping to become a prism for another's legacy and memory, they make pictures and objects from the distances within communication. Through renegotiative gestures wherein materiality is a scrim between protection and access, Kristen grapples with questions of legibility and tenderness in making from loss. Kristen has been in residence with the CENTRE FOR THE STUDY OF SUBSTRUCTURED LOSS for applied grief and bereavement research (London) and the School of Making Thinking (NY) to explore texts somatically and collaboratively. Their work has been shared online, in print, and in exhibitions across the US
