Caitlin Perrigo (she/her) is a multimedia artist based in Cambridge, MA. Perrigo’s practice explores the uncomfortable yet honest relationship between humans and nature. Too often, the lives of non-human bodies are overlooked, and she elevates non-humans to a level of mournability typically reserved for humans. Rooted in the local inter-species community, her preemptive ecological memorials embrace slow and intimate forms of reflection within local living networks, urging viewers to participate in acts of ecological care.
Perrigo’s work has been exhibited across the Northeast, including the ICA at MECA&D, 82 Parris Gallery, Space Gallery, The Parsonage Gallery, and the Beard and Weil Fine Arts Gallery. Additionally, her work was acquired by the Wheaton College Permanent Collection and The Parsonage Private Collection. A 2023 recipient of the Beinecke Scholarship, she graduated with a BA degree from Wheaton College and her MFA at Maine College of Art & Design.
