Claire A. Warden is an interdisciplinary artist who works in still and moving image media engaging identity, representation, illegibility, and language. Informed by anti-essentialism and decolonial theory, her work uses experimental image-making and cameraless abstraction. Warden's work has been exhibited widely in the United States and abroad, featured in Harper's Magazine, Der Greif Magazine, Lenscratch, and Light Work's Contact Sheet. She received artist residencies through the Center for Photography at Woodstock, LATITUDE, ACRE, Light Work, and Penumbra Foundation.
