Tyler Goldflower
Multidisciplinary Sculptural Photographic Artist

Tyler Goldflower moves through the space between image and material, where the body is both vessel and artifact, fleeting yet eternal. Inspired by the textures of time, she imprints images onto stone, clay, steel, textiles, and handmade paper, materials shaped by erosion, history, and alchemy. Her work is as much about the body as it is about material: the way skin absorbs time, how movement reshapes form, how the elements sculpt our being. She explores the intimacy of being alive within a physical form, honoring the tension between creation and decay, memory and forgetting. Her photography extends beyond portraiture into figurative forms, archetypal tableaus, and still lives, evoking the shared rituals and mythologies that have echoed through humanity across time and place.

Born in New York City and currently rooted in Mexico, her work carries the imprint of both places while drawing from her journeys across the Middle East, Europe, Africa, India, and Asia. Each place she inhabits adds another layer to her visual and emotional vocabulary, expanding a living archive from which her images are shaped. Her practice reflects an understanding that we are formed by our environments, and that with each shift, we gather new ways of seeing, feeling, and expressing.

Goldflower allows the images to speak to her, to tell her how they want to come to life. Sometimes they ask to be printed on the rawness of clay bricks, other times the boldness of color printed on metal, or the traditional black and white darkroom printing. She embraces creative diversity, trusting intuition and process to guide each transformation. For her, the image is just the beginning. How it is printed, framed, and embodied gives it voice. Material, surface, and form are not just support, but active storytellers.

Goldflower first encountered photography in high school, a discovery that quickly became a lifelong language of connection and purpose. For her, photography is not only a way of seeing but also of shaping what is seen, and of envisioning what could be. It is a tool of reflection, imagination, and creation. One that evolves as she does, carrying within it the infinite ways we experience and interpret the world.

Trained at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Goldflower has exhibited in New York, Los Angeles, Miami, Mexico, Japan.
