Artist Talk - July 23, 1 PM at Blue Sky

Kelli Connell’s work investigates sexuality, gender, identity and photographer / sitter relationships. In this multi-year project, Double Life, the Chicago-based artist opens up new dialogues about women and aging. By combining multiple images of the same model in each image, the dualities of the self are defined through body language and clothing. Connell received her MFA in photography from Texas Woman’s University, and her BFA in both photography and visual art studies from the University of North Texas. She is a recent recipient of a 2021 Guggenheim Fellowship in Photography.
