Rox’s photographic practice manifests as long-term community portraits of the radical subcultures to which they belong. Creating art allows Rox to process trauma and to connect with others. In their work they reveal deeply personal stories and share experiences of existing in diverse, marginalized, and unorthodox communities. Their picture-taking process is primarily analogue, ranging from slow and meticulous large-format photos, to candid snapshots taken on 35mm. The result is a body of work rich in colour and texture.
Their method is embodied research, through which they contemplate the rot of late-stage capitalism and what that means as a neurodivergent non-binary person living on stolen land. Rox creates art that is often political, whether shedding light on the daily life of the Fairy Creek Blockade or revealing the sexism found in wildland firefighting. They are interested in creating community engagement through grassroots projects, and are passionate about the possibilities of intertwining environmental activism, feminism, and storytelling through art.
Rox is a queer neurodivergent image-based artist and activist of Italian-Anglo descent, born and raised on the lək’wəŋən peoples' territory (Victoria, BC). Their methods are rooted in community collaboration, producing work that weaves together writing and photography to create living archives. As part of their artistic career they have exhibited in groups shows across Canada, participated in several residencies, been published locally and internationally, and sustained a curatorial practice. Rox aspires to create accessible spaces that reflect diverse perspectives. They will return to Concordia University to begin an MFA in Fall 2026.
