STEVEN HARWICK

STEVEN HARWICK IS A CROSS-DISCIPLINARY ARTIST LIVING IN BROOKLYN, NY. 


Harwick’s practice utilizes photography, video, installation, sculpture, and collage to highlight identity, obsession, subversions, and perversions. His self-published zine, Bound Leather, demonstrates the central focus of his project work: to pull from cultural history and traditional fetish imagery while simultaneously subverting those standards by showcasing an array of people systematically excluded from the long-established canon. Originally started as a means of exploring and documenting the contemporary leather and BDSM communities through a photographic lens, the publication has grown in scope and scale over time. Harwick has exhibited domestically and internationally, and self-published his first monograph, By the Skin of My Teeth. He holds a BFA from Pratt Institute.
