Kaylee Peters is an artist and educator from Dayton, Ohio. Her lens-based work explores the intersection of identity and place through analog and alternative photographic processes. By printing on alternative 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.
