Em Wall was born and raised in Michigan, where they grew up in a large Mormon family. They use photography to dismantle and dissect relationships. Em wrestles with Mormon culture and doctrine that doesn’t fit their conceptions of gender and sexuality, along with the way they uphold, transform, or fail to escape the domestic traditions handed-down. Their images are not big acts of rebellion, but rather meant to subvert ideas of religious patriarchy and the belief that they have a monopoly on spirituality.
