BIO
Alicia Weissenbach was born in Boise, Idaho and began photography at a young age with a borrowed point-and-shoot camera. She is currently a 2019 BFA Candidate at Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle, Washington and in spring 2018 participated in a program at Studio Arts College International in Florence, Italy. Her practice plays with challenging ideas of what it means to make photographic work through employing elements of light and sculpture. Light is an important part of her practice, and often references the shifting and changing quality of her own childhood memories in which light is an ever present focal point. Alicia has exhibited work at OnArt Gallery in Florence, Italy and has participated in shows at the Closet Gallery, Main Cornish Gallery and L-Space Gallery in Seattle, Washington.
