Olivia Harrison is a New York City-based photographer whose work interrogates the intricate relationship between memory, time, and the photographic medium. Interweaving traditional practices with a contemporary perspective, she explores the intimate relationship she shares with the camera, often perceiving it as a sentient collaborator capable of illuminating thoughts and emotions within her. Her darkroom practice incorporates both traditional and alternative printing techniques, positioning the photographic medium as a dual entity: a factual archive of nostalgia and human experience, and a mystical tool that unveils truths beyond ordinary perception.
