Bio

Kim Manchester (they/them) is an educator & artist who relocated to the Pacific Northwest twenty-odd years ago and has been making images that explore the ways in which pattern, light, color and value interact in the world around them.

The idea of ‘Home’ and making images inside domestic and residential environments is a recurring theme in their work as is the interplay of light, time and state of mind as they move through those places.  

Their work as an educator strives to empower students through using experiential learning opportunities, encouraging experimentation and reflection and through curriculum that seeks to  de-colonize photography’s culture of singular authorship, emphasizing that every photograph is a collaborative act.
