Nancy Floyd

Iris Project Resident: July 7th - July 21, 2023

Nancy Floyd is a visual artist who uses photography, video, and mixed-media to address the ways in which lens-based media can connect deeply with experience and memory.

 Floyd has received numerous grants and awards, including a 2022 Guggenheim Fellowship, the 2019 International Center of Photography / GOST Books First Photo Book Award, a 2018 Aaron Siskind Photography Fellowship and a 2014 John Gutmann Photography Fellowship.

 In 2021, Floyd’s 39-year self-portrait series, Weathering Time, was published by the International Center of Photography and GOST books. In 2021 the book was longlisted for the Deutsche Börse Photography Foundation Prize, London/Frankfurt and shortlisted for the Paris Photo–Aperture Foundation First PhotoBook Award, New York/Paris. In 2020 the work was featured in the New Yorker Photobooth and i-D Magazine.

 Floyd’s artwork is in the collection of the Center for Creative Photography (Tucson, AZ), the High Museum of Art (Atlanta, GA), Museum of Contemporary Photography (Chicago, IL), Lightwork (Syracuse, NY), and in numerous private collections.
