"I like to really think about my participation when I photograph a woman, about creating a space where I can encourage someone to feel in their body and their power, and to capture it. When that happens something transcends there."
- Jenny Hannah Roche

Jenny Hannah Roche is an art photographer living in Portland, Oregon. Her work is feminist educated and often works within fantastical narratives. Roche crafts intimate portraits and magical scenes with elements of mysticism, sensuality, and embracing The Other in oneself. She has a deep reverence for the power of the female form.

As a longtime fan of Jenny’s work, I finally cornered her at a late night Halloween party. We stood in the back of a film room which was silently playing an old Addam's Family episode against one wall. People walked in and out during the conversation. Jenny often stopped to hug friends or take photos of their amazing costumes.

"I think queerness and feminism and race have an interesting relationship to the internet because on the one hand there is a lot of trepidation among dominant or majority groups about the internet and about all these voices being heard and this anxiety about the fragmented self. But as I see it, a whole bunch of new voices are now able to have their voices heard and able to disseminate their ideas and make connections with each other."
- Gray Wielebinski

Gray (Grace) Wielebinski is a Los Angeles based artist working in illustration, mixed media, collage, video, sound, and installation art. Her work explores how gender and sexuality interact with structures of power, construction of identity, mass media, and representation.
