Jamie Grace Alexander is known through her work as Proxy. Proxy is defined as “the
authority to represent someone else” & her work considers the distance between the artist
herself & the many communities she belongs to. She found graffiti as a medium to oppose trans
exclusive messages in women's bathrooms across Baltimore city in 2018. Her tag allows her to
be present through the curled lips, noses, & hair of her proxies. In this series, she brings her
practice indoors, turning mirrors into altars & marking both as sites of self-reflection. Her work

on these mirrors can shield, tuck, & adjust light, asking questions about lineage, futurity, &
belonging. She sees internal discovery as a key strength of her identities & encourages viewers
to look for themselves in her work.
