Overview & Events


November 23, 2:00-3:00 p.m.

Immerse yourself in the psychological force and haunting beauty of Connie Imboden’s photography. Working in mirrored studio environments and choreographing complex underwater shoots, Imboden uses the camera lens to create layered and fragmented visions of the human body that evoke historical painting, global mythologies, and concepts from Jungian analysis.

Over 50 black-and white and color photographs are included in the exhibition. While her images invite Queer and feminist readings, the Baltimore-based artist is first and foremost inspired by art’s ongoing role of offering connection and catharsis in the midst of human struggles.
