Briana Trudell

Briana Trudell currently resides in Grand Rapids, Michigan. She studied photography at Grand Valley State University and is a visual person to her core who is constantly thinking about the images she is surrounded by on the daily—Who? Why? How? This? Her work often challenges viewers conceptions of photography in both form and function, often working in the installation format. Briana enjoys making things for people to look at (and sometimes touch). Much of her work is introspective and reflects on ritual and loss and her hope is that it causes people to reflect on their rituals and maybe the things that get lost in those. 

When she is not at her 9 to 5 or making things, she enjoys sharing food and beverages with friends, playing games, and reading. She is a passionate advocate for public libraries and the services they offer to communities and thinks you should be too!
