Marie Smith
Marie Smith (she/they) is a neurodivergent visual artist and writer born, living, and working in London. Smith graduated in 2017 with a MA in History in Art with Photography at Birkbeck, University of London.
Being a neurodivergent person with dyspraxia and anxiety has informed how they navigates the world. Marie’s practice incorporates digital and analogue photography alongside text as a form of visual language that addresses identity, nature, sustainability, mental health, and well-being.
Marie utilises low-toxic plant, food, or herb-based developers to process their analogue film. Due to this methodology not being transferable to developing colour film, Marie now only works with black and white and camera-less film processes. Marie is a member of Women Photograph and Black Women Photographers London
