Mourning is a multidisciplinary artist whose work explores memory, history, identity, and the interior life. Working across photography, site specific installation, sculpture, film and painting, she creates immersive environments that examine the relationship between place, belonging, and the passage of time.
Mourning studied at Art Center College of Design in Pasadena and received her MFA from the Royal College of Art in London in 2005, where she was awarded the Deutsche Bank Pyramid Award for Fine Art. Her work has been exhibited in London, Los Angeles, New York, and the San Francisco Bay Area, and is held in private collections, including Deutsche Bank.
In 2021, Mourning created Stay with Me, an extensive installation in her San Francisco home that transformed a domestic interior into a space for communal encounter and reflection, welcoming more than two thousand visitors.
Mourning now lives and works in a historic stone house and former ranch in Roscoe, Montana within the Beartooth Mountains. Her current practice centers on the transformation of the Rosebud Homestead and its historic barn into an evolving, site-responsive installation. Drawing on archival photographs, found objects, natural materials, and the layered histories of the land, she explores how art, place, and memory become inseparable.
