What happens when a childhood photograph becomes more than a memory? Here Then invites audiences behind the scenes of an evolving participatory portrait project exploring time, memory, and identity. During this live event, artist Jocelyn R.C. will create portraits on stage using participants’ childhood photographs as the primary source of light while sharing the creative process, technical approach, and questions that have shaped the work. Through live portrait-making, conversation, and audience participation, “Here Then: In Process” asks a simple question with surprisingly broad implications: What might change if we first learned to see every stranger as the child they once were?Jocelyn R.C. is a Seattle-based artist and photographer with two decades of experience spanning filmmaking, advertising, education, public art, and independent projects. Her career began in the film industry before shifting into advertising and marketing, eventually evolving into a full-time creative practice that balances long-term artistic work with freelance photography.
Through iterative processes and playful experimentation, Jocelyn’s artwork reaches a variety of end states whether it’s a large-scale public art installation in New York City or a mixed-media series acquired for a local architectural collection in Bellevue, Washington. As a freelance photographer, her specialty is documentary and human interest with an affinity for capturing candid, tableau-style compositions. She contracts recurrently with local organizations like Seattle Parks Foundation and Seattle JazzED.
Jocelyn approaches both sides of her creative practice with the same commitment to thoughtful storytelling, careful observation, and work that resonates long after the in-frame moment.
