Maggie Carson Romano combines photography, video and installation in query of the physicality of memory and its intrinsic connection to sensitivity and response.
In her work, she pulls single elements from context to express both their strength and vulnerability. Emergent randomness powers her fleeting installations, sensitive to variables that lie beyond control. The systematic responses embedded in these works yield accumulations and dispersions that become physical records of each work through time and space.
She studied fine art at the University of Southern California and earned her MFA at the University of Washington. She has since lived in New York, Los Angeles and Berkeley and now resides in Montclair, NJ.
