ArtFriday: Christi Nielsen
Posted in Individualism on 05. Jun, 2009
This week on ArtFriday, I want to show you the photography of Christi Nielsen. I have chosen three images from her I’m Just About to Get Skinny series, a highly sensitised and personal analysis of body image. What keeps me returning to Christi work is the way she manages to orchestrate a sense of empathy that isn’t sickening. Something that I find difficult with most artists when the bare their entire soul in a work is the nagging feeling that maybe I just wouldn’t like this person. Christi Nielsen does not have this problem. (It may be because Christi is also hilarious.)
You can find Christi Nielsen at her website, her flickr account (for her more recent works) and her twitter.
