Paige is an artist and researcher based in Brooklyn, NY, whose work focuses on environment, sculpture, and connectedness. Her research examines legal frameworks and their interplay with Earth's natural systems.
Her work investigates Puritan intertidal laws and shoreline access in the United States. She works with tidal cycles and fluctuating "public and private" boundaries. Through legal ambiguities and loopholes, she deploys relational activations and "access" sculptures to challenge and question laws around property in the public sphere, and to promote discourse on ocean access and climate change.
Her practice emerges from probing the physical, legal, and behavioral systems that keep us separate and meditates on the everyday engagements that keep us connected. The ocean is a co-collaborator.
Paige co-founded Convening Bodies Residency, a relational and creative research residency in Washington State’s San Juan archipelago, bringing artists and practitioners from different disciplines to engage with how we relate to bodies of water, marine environments, and one another. By gathering near the Salish Sea, Convening Bodies explores how situated studies and new understandings can mediate an ecology of care and inform creative practice.
As a creative, interdisciplinary practitioner, Paige organizes international projects for Cyland Media Art Lab, serving as an assistant curator and co-editor, and contributes to annual publications like MIT Press and CURA. Previously, Paige planned programming at Thoughtworks Arts Residency in New York, focusing on the impacts of emerging technologies on culture and society.
