The Christopher Henry Gallery is pleased to announce, Hypnagogia, its first solo exhibition of New York based photographer Kelsey Bennett .

Contemporary daydreams, Bennett’s narrative constructions combine a strong sense of color with an eye for the graphical gesture. Her characters, variations on autobiography, peer out at the viewer from within the cathedrals of their private illusions like children caught at an ambivalent game. Archetypes of the everyday, Bennett’s subjects seem to hover in a liminal world poised between reality and fantasy. Her photos vibrate with a subversive formality reminiscent of Cindy Sherman ‘s film stills or William Eggleston’s documents of Americana.
