Description
Kelli Connell's Pictures for Charis is a groundbreaking work that synthesizes text and image to explore photography, gender, and portraiture in the 21st century. The book is driven by Connell's fascination with Charis Wilson, Edward Weston's partner, model, and collaborator, and her own journey as an artist navigating a cultural landscape marked by changing attitudes towards desire and inspiration. Connell travels to locations where Weston and Wilson made photographs together, accompanied by her partner Betsy Odom. This project is a personal exploration of the legacy of Weston and Wilson, and Connell's own story finds kinship with theirs as she navigates the complexities of artistic expression. The result is a rich weave of narrative and images that complicates and breathes new life into a well-known set of photographs. Copublished by Aperture and the Center for Creative Photography, Tucson, Pictures for Charis presents an entirely new body of work by Connell, combining image and text as a mode of visual research and storytelling.
