Ian Page-Echols
Artist, photographer, and moving-image maker. Seattle · Mexico City.
Ian Page-Echols is a multidisciplinary artist working across photography, printmaking, live visuals, interactive installation, music performance, composition, and public art.
His work blends analog and digital methods to explore perception, repetition, built environments, visual atmosphere, and how people interact with spaces. He builds electronic and mechanical systems, makes layered prints from photographic and documentary sources, and performs live visuals using custom hardware and software.
His installation Mother May I, made with artist Kate Vrijmoet, won Best Installation at the Wide Open 3 National Juried Art Show in Brooklyn in 2012. He is included on the Washington State Arts Commission 2025–2029 Public Artist Roster.
Ian studied Design & Architecture at the University of Colorado Boulder, completed a User-Centered Design Certificate through Human Centered Design & Engineering at the University of Washington, and holds an M.S. in Human Centered Design & Engineering from the University of Washington. That background in architecture, design, technology, and how people experience spaces shapes how the work is composed, placed, and experienced.
He is based in Seattle and spends regular time in Mexico City. He also plays tenor saxophone with the Chaotic Noise Marching Corps.
