Anna Gaskell

For my photographer I chose Anna Gaskell.  She's an American photographer born in Des Moines Iowa.  She now lives in New York. She attended Bennington College and the Art Institute of Chicago for her BFA, and Yale University of Art for her MFA.  I found that she did a series based off of Lewis Carrol's Alice in Wonderland.  She's had exhibits in the Guggenheim and the Museum of Modern Art in New York, among other's in Florida, Massachusetts, and Kansas.  Her Wonder series cast two twin teenage girls to recreate the events in the novel using bright colors and a sort of surreal compositions to create a dream like quality.
