Cozette Russell

Born 1978, Exeter, NH, lives in Lee, New Hampshire 

Working in photography, video, installation, and text, Cozette Russell explores ways photographic space can expand into sculptural objects. Through an intersectional lens of feminism and disability, Russell investigates the aesthetics of care and care as access using an embodied approach and tactile interventions. Russell’s work has shown at various galleries and museums including SFMOMA, the Wexner Center for the Arts, NADA Curated, Harvard University, and A.I.R. Gallery in Brooklyn, New York, where she is a member.

The days become a rotation of care I surrender to––running fingers under bathwater, brushing each tooth, threading arms through sleeves, buckling his seatbelt. The years have changed, but not much of this changes. In the photographic space, we are always in the present, in an infinite loop, a space where there are no beginnings or endings. One day, I set the self-timer and enter the camera frame. My own body now plagued by illness. I become entwined with impermanence. The future is no longer a predictably approaching horizon. Each day feels unknown and unpromised.
