Kaylee Peters is an artist and educator from Dayton, Ohio. Her lens-based work explores the connection between identity and place through analog and alternative photographic processes. By printing on non-traditional surfaces, she examines the life cycle of materials, further embracing the physicality of a photograph. This approach reinforces her thematic exploration of memory and transformation while making a conscious effort to pursue an environmentally responsible practice.
