About
Grace Kavanagh's practice revolves around visual storytelling, investigating the photograph's ability to reveal the personal in the everyday. Kavanagh's work explores how factors such as sexuality, emotion and memory shape our experience of place. Having grown up in rural New Zealand, Kavanagh's work reimagines the small-town landscape through a queer female perspective, merging fantasy elements with the reality of small-town New Zealand.
Where the River Ran reimagines the rural town of Martinborough New Zealand. The rural small town experience is a common one within New Zealand. Towns surrounded by fields and winding roads - frame our adolescent experiences. Intertwined with feelings of longing, loneliness, and desire. This project explores emotion and memory’s relationship to place and how we document it, forming a narrative between fiction and reality, past and present, familiar, and unknown.
