Augusta Wood’s work engages performance, time, language and place, exploring ways of mapping the relationship between spatial and linguistic experience, memory and photographic space.
She received her MFA in Photography and Media from California Institute of the Arts and her BFA from Cooper Union in New York. Recent exhibitions of her work include Baker's Dozen at the Torrance Art Museum (Torrance, CA), 1999: 10 Year Anniversary Show at China Art Objects Galleries & Cottage Home (Los Angeles), and Friends and Family at Anton Kern Gallery (New York). Her work has been reviewed in Artweek and the Los Angeles Times, and has appeared on the cover of Black Clock.
Wood will be featured in the Fotofest Biennial 2010, curated by Edward Robinson from the Wallis Annenberg Photography Department at LACMA, and Sarah Bay Williams, Ralph M. Parsons Fellow, with Charlotte Cotton, Creative Director of the National Media Museum in Bradford, UK.
She currently lives and works in Los Angeles.
