Artist Registry
The White Columns Curated Artist Registry is an online platform for emerging and under-recognized artists to share images and information about their respective practices. The Registry seeks to create a context for artists who have yet to benefit from wider critical, curatorial or commercial support. To be eligible, artists cannot be affiliated with a commercial gallery in New York City.

Glendalis
The Life and World of a Young Latina
Glendalis Sotomayor is the protagonist of this body of work, with her friends and family present as an active, supporting cast. The work attempts to evaluate the life and world of a young Latina, by examining her, and pieces of her world. Layered in, and sometimes easily left out.
In the constant search for Glendalis' narrative as a young LatinX woman, I strive to determine if it is possible to truly know who one person is, or who they are becoming, by photographing them. The project’s value lies in this achievement: to witness how a photographer can rise to examine one person, and pieces of their life. The work is shot exclusively in the pre-gentrified neighborhood of the Lower East Side. The family occupy a multigenerational house on Stanton Street. I was raised this way and can strongly relate to this type of family system.
I hand process my own C41 film and RA4 prints. Through this hands-on color technique I can realize the true potential of my negatives, and continue to learn more about myself through my own work. It is absolutely essential that I continue to hand process my own work. I must be responsible for every step of the process.
