Tyler Goldflower
Multidisciplinary Sculptural Photographic Artist

Tyler Goldflower is a sculptural photographic artist whose work explores the relationship between image and material. At the center of her practice is the body—its form, gesture, and dialogue with both the physical and inner worlds. Deeply inspired by movement and dance, her approach to photographing the body is informed by a lifetime of physical practice, from her early years as a dancer to her ongoing dedication to yoga. The body for her is not a fixed form but a moving language: expressive, archetypal, and alive. Through this lens, she examines how material transforms perception and how each surface—stone, clay, metal, textile, and handmade paper—breathes new life into the photographic image.

For Goldflower, photography exists in the space between memory, forgetting, and becoming. Rooted in nostalgia and artifact, the act of creation becomes both remembrance and renewal, an opening toward new possibilities. The photographic process holds the power to create new realities, to heal, and to transform. Whether working in dialogue with others or through self-portraiture, these spaces of creation are ritualistic, fertile, and alive with potential. Her work is inspired by the desire to make pieces that feel timeless yet deeply connected to the moment of their making, each becoming a vessel of human experience that reflects our search for place, belonging, and connection to nature, to one another, and to ourselves.

Her practice reflects the erotic and the sacred, the childlike and the womanly, the organic and the futuristic. It moves fluidly between dualities—ancient and technological, playful and profound—combining traditional photographic processes with advanced technological tools that enable new forms of material transformation. Rooted between New York and Mexico, and shaped by travels across Africa, Europe, the Middle East, India, and Asia, her work carries the imprint of each landscape as part of a living archive of texture and emotion. Guided by intuition, she allows each image to dictate its own evolution. In her hands, material is not merely support but storyteller, shaping reflections on what it means to inhabit a body and the earth, to cohabitate, to remember, to heal, and to transform.

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