Patricia Brace ’06
Brace’s practice is rooted in rural Maine and explores the body’s relationship to the interconnectivity of people, place, and care. Through interdisciplinary work, she examines how we cohabitate with nature amid a rapidly unfolding climate crisis.

Exhibitions include PS122 Gallery, Smack Mellon, Center for Maine Contemporary Art, and the Institute of Contemporary Art. She co-founded the Performance Art Initiative, Sine Gallery, and GROUNDWORK retreat. Her work is in the Portland Museum of Art and Memorial Sloan Kettering Hospital.
