About
Why this artist matters now
Spencer Finch makes mixed-media works that often document light, color, and perception through photography, drawing, and installation. His practice treats the act of observation as both subject and method, frequently translating ephemeral phenomena into material form. A retrospective of his work was held at MASS MoCA in 2008. Based in New Haven, Finch's investigations range from the specific conditions of a single moment to the cumulative nature of memory and attention.
