My name is Avery Cather, but growing up my grandmother would call me her “sensitive flower”.

I am a video artist and photographer based in Boston, MA, attending Emerson College. My practice is centered around grief, sacred ritual, memory embedded in spaces, and ephemera. While it may be hard to accept change and life transitions, my art is fueled by it. My work combines documentary and experimental narrative as I tell stories through photography, film, installation, and performance. Using techniques from my background in dance and film, I use the body and camera to bend mediums, expressing emotion and creating embodied experiences throughout my entire process. I am inspired by what I see every day: a cracked eggshell, a broken couch, a fallen tree branch. I implement empathy and active listening to continue my development as an artist.
