About

Isla P Gordon obsesses over photography. Drawing on her experience as a transgender woman, Isla’s work explores themes of queer adolescence, trans- representation, memory and the everyday. Fueled by Instagram speed-scrolling, she bounces between photographic vernaculars, deliberately disorienting, flattening space, and questioning the rectangular frame.

Isla received an MFA in Photography and Related Media from Rochester Institute of Technology in 2017. Beginning in 2019, Isla expanded her practice into an on-going performance collaboration with Ashley Kaye entitled Milk and Honey, a flesh-centric endeavor that lampoons pop culture.

Isla’s work has been exhibited internationally, in the USA, Europe and Asia. Isla has performed at Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, and has been featured in Idle Class Magazine, Candela Gallery (VA) and Paradice Palase (NY). Isla is a 2019 recipient of an Artist 360 Grant.
