Photographer Keisha Scarville uses her body, patterned fabrics, objects, and the landscape to explore themes of place, belonging, identity, family, loss, and transformation. In her pictures, she considers connections between presence and absence, landscape and the body, history and the present. Scarville reflects on ways absence can be visualized and on how the landscape can carry narratives.

Scarville was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, but Guyana, where her parents grew up and which she has visited many times throughout her life, informs and inspires much of her work. She studied at Rochester Institute of Technology and her work has been widely exhibited and collected. Keisha Scarville lives and works in Brooklyn, and is is currently adjunct faculty at the International Center of Photography and Parsons School of Design.
