Kelli Connell: Pictures for Charis
Kelli Connell: Pictures for Charis was on view at the High Museum of Art September 20, 2024 – January 5, 2025.
In Pictures for Charis, American photographer Kelli Connell reconsiders the relationship between writer Charis (pronounced CARE-iss) Wilson and photographer Edward Weston through a close examination of Wilson’s prose and Weston’s iconic photographs. Connell weaves together the stories of Wilson and Weston with her own and enriches our understanding of the couple from her contemporary Queer and feminist perspective.
