Through sustained, site-responsive engagement with domestic and transitional environments, I follow the subtle traces left by the living \u2013 imprints, residues and gestures \u2013 to explore how identity is shaped in relation to place and memory. Working across photography, printmaking, drawing and the moving image, I use walking, observation and physical action as forms of embodied research, where process and experience become integral to the work itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mariaprovidenciacasanovas.com\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"www.mariaprovidenciacasanovas.com\">mariaprovidenciacasanovas.com<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/mariaprovidencia\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/mariaprovidencia\/\">@mariaprovidencia<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-16018d1d wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/printcenter.org\/100th\/walker\/\">Previous Artist<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-16018d1d wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/printcenter.org\/100th\/finalists-semifinalists\/\">Return to Artist List<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-16018d1d wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/printcenter.org\/100th\/dawson\/\">Next Artist<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Maria-Providencia CasanovasSemifinalist Maria Providencia Casanovas (b. 1963 Barcelona, Spain; l.
