About

Alexander Knudsen is a photographer working on the North Shore of Massachusetts where he lives with his family. He graduated with departmental honors from the Massachusetts College of Art and Design in 2014.

His work is rooted in the landscape of Ipswich, where his family has lived for generations. Much of his practice takes place in his backyard, the streets and woodlands of Cape Ann, or along the highway to his office job outside of Boston.

The title of his upcoming monograph, Mourning Dove, comes from a childhood memory of learning to mimic the bird’s call with his grandfather. The dove, often seen as a harbinger of deliverance or hope, carries into his work a sense of quiet endurance and renewal.
