Alex Emmons

About

Alex Emmons grew up in rural upstate New York, near the village of Middleburgh
and close to the Catskill Mountains. She received her Bachelor of Arts at Denison University in 1996 and Master of Fine Arts at Arizona State University in 2005. And
it is after Alex left her first rural home and moved a gazillion times, traveled and
lived abroad extensively, that she reexamines her personal experiences for her creative research. As a lens-based artist, Alex’s art work incorporates photo-media for its various outcomes. Conceptually she surveys ideas related to domestic space, displacement, and the space “in between”. Alex is represented by Alan Klotz Gallery in New York City. Living in remote Eastern Washington, Alex is the Assistant Professor of Photography and Digital imaging at Central Washington University, where she has spent the last six months documenting a small,
alternative farm located ten miles from her residence.
