About me

Whitney Browne is an artist working with photography, installation, archives, and writing. Through long-term projects and site-responsive commissions, she explores the ways people care for one another over time, not only in moments of crisis, but through the ordinary rituals, relationships, and acts of attention that shape a life.

Recent projects include This Place Loves You Back, a large-scale installation commissioned as the inaugural visual artist project at Saratoga Performing Arts Center, built from more than 80,000 archival photographs, Candy Store, a long-term collaboration with Ray's Candy Store in New York City's East Village, Time Builds Value, an ongoing series photographing dancers' feet in the hour after performance, and Old California, a project documenting four generations of women in California's Central Valley.

Browne's work has been commissioned by organizations including Saratoga Performing Arts Center and the Pina Bausch Foundation. She lives in Brooklyn, New York.

Candy Store is her first book.
