bio
Shane Pulley (born in Suffolk, Virginia, 2004) is an artist working mainly in photography, while occasionally working in sound and video. His practice consists of experimental and personal narratives, exploring both past and present experiences while considering themes of trauma, nostalgia, memory, childhood, affection, and identity. While living in the same house his whole life, Shane's work often discusses topics of specific feelings he has encountered while growing up alongside his childhood home and relationships, centered within a small town.
