Joshua Veasey (b. 1992, Lakeland, FL) is an interdisciplinary artist based in Miami, FL. Working across photography, fiber, and assemblage, his practice explores memory, intimacy, and the shifting textures of place.

Through the use of photographic documentation, he encounters and records his subjects candidly or fully engaged; becoming the framework for his process. He deconstructs, pieces, assembles, and fashions materials together to explore identity, sexuality, desire, memory and intimacy.

Veasey’s sewn photographic assemblages operate as “soft paintings,” extending the pictorial concerns of painting into the domain of textile and assemblage, where material processes of cutting and stitching structure the negotiation between memory, image, and form. Drawing from an evolving archive of portraits of friends, lovers and self-portraits, Veasey blurs the boundaries between fragment and whole, surface and subject.

Joshua Veasey received a BFA in Sculpture from New World School of the Arts. His work has been exhibited throughout Florida, with recent presentations at the Miami Beach Regional Library (2021); Walgreens, Oolite Arts (2020); Mindy Solomon Gallery (2016); the Cisneros Fontanals Art Foundation (2016); and GucciVuitton (2015). He was a recipient of the Miami Beach Open House Residency through the Miami Beach Cultural Affairs Program (2021) and the Oolite Arts Home + Away Residency at Anderson Ranch (2021).
