My name is Avery Cather, but growing up, my grandmother would call me her “sensitive flower”.

Avery Cather is a video artist and photographer attending Emerson College in Boston, MA. Her practice is centered around grief, sacred ritual, memory embedded in spaces, and ephemera. While it may be hard to accept change and life transitions, her art is fueled by them. Her work combines documentary and experimental narrative as I tell stories through photography, film, installation, and performance. Using techniques from my background in dance and film, she uses the body and technology to bend mediums, expressing emotion and creating an embodied experience throughout my entire process. Cather is inspired by what she sees every day: a cracked eggshell, a broken couch, a fallen tree branch. She implements empathy and active listening to continue my development as an artist.
