Hector Gomez is a Mexican-American artist and photographer based in New York City whose practice grows from a lifelong curiosity about images, materials, and how things are made. Drawing from his family’s history of garment work, he brings photography, textiles, and emerging technologies together to explore labor, memory, identity, and the relationship between human hands and machines. His work connects personal and ancestral histories with digital processes, asking how we carry the past forward through the things we make.

Hector is a current Keyholder Fellow at the Lower East Side Printshop.
