Elspeth & Billy, 2010

PRESENT: In the artist’s words, “On the final night of my ACRE residency, I asked my fellow residents one-by-one to briefly step away from the revelry and in front of my camera. I gave them little instruction other than to try to keep them in the frame. The resulting images are a depiction of their uncalculated, fleeting self-presentation.”

JENNIFER RAY is a Chicago-based artist who recently received an MFA in Photography from Columbia College; she has a BA from Oberlin College. Her work appeared in the New Insight exhibition at Art Chicago 2010, as well as in recent exhibitions at Hyde Park Art Center, the Chicago Art Department, and the Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender, and Reproduction.
