EMILY RICE

February 2025 Resident

Emily Rice (b. 1993, Birmingham, AL) is an artist based in the Southeastern US. They earned their MFA from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville after receiving their BFA in Art and Spanish from Birmingham-Southern College. They explore post-apocalyptic fragmentation and sustainable resurrection through a queer futuristic lens. Through drawing, painting, digital media, sculpture, and installation, they elevate materials into realms of animism and myth. Investigating and reshaping torn, broken, and dead materials is their alchemical method for transfiguration and a way to gather time together. Their works are manifestations of a believed and beloved reality, examining the fascia between relationships and time. Recently, they were living in Tegucigalpa, Honduras as a Creative Research Fulbright Scholar in Installation Art. They are teaching Painting and Drawing this semester at Texas A&M International University.

Mineral House Media’s digital residency program is a series of online “takeovers,” wherein each selected artist is given full control of the Mineral House Media Instagram feed for 2 weeks. Residents complete an interview to be published at the close of their designated month. The residency also includes a group exhibition at the end of the year. It is a great way to experiment, showcase your practice in a new way, and develop a new following. If you wish to be considered for our 2024 residency year, Apply Here!
