Erica Ginger is a mixed media photographer whose work explores the relationships between humans and animals through constructed imagery, research, and observation. Raised in the rural Midwest, her practice is informed by early experiences within agricultural landscapes and continues to draw from ongoing connections to agricultural, manufacturing, and industrial systems.

​

Working primarily in the studio, Ginger creates carefully staged and symbolic photographs that combine customized elements, drawing, and familiar objects. These constructed environments serve as spaces for reflection, allowing her to examine how animals are perceived, understood, and integrated into broader cultural and social frameworks. 

​

Her work continues to explore the interconnections between animals, human and environmental health, and the systems of language and meaning that shape these relationships. Through sustained inquiry and a slower, more attentive way of looking, Ginger explores not only what is visible but also how meaning is created, interpreted, and carried forward through language, culture, and experience.

​

Ginger received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Photography from the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) in 2026 and is currently pursuing a Master of Fine Arts.
