Marie Smith is a visual artist and writer who was born, currently lives, and works in London. Smith graduated in 2017 with a Master of Arts degree in History of Art with Photography from Birkbeck, University of London.
Marie's creative practice is informed by their experience of being neurodivergent and incorporates a range of media: audio, digital/analogue processes, alongside text that explores themes related to the body, identity, nature, and sustainability.
Marie employs an analogue lens-based photographic approach that incorporates low-toxic developers made from plants, food, or herbs. Marie primarily focuses on black and white photography and camera-less film processes.
Additionally, Marie has been actively exploring audio work and facilitating workshops with collectives in archives, museums, and galleries as part of an effort to critically deconstruct and reframe their position within these institutional environments.
Currently, Marie is a Senior Lecturer at Kingston University London, and has also taught at Goldsmiths, University of London, and the London College of Communication (LCC).
