Did You Know?
It requires a strenuous hike of more than seven miles to reach Lake Ediza, an alpine lake near Mammoth Lakes, California.Description
Connell and her then-wife Betsy Odom were searching for the exact rock against which Edward Weston had photographed his lover and collaborator Charis Wilson in 1937 but had to settle for this more dramatic backdrop. Connell photographed Odom at locales in California where Wilson and Weston had lived and made work together. By interweaving the stories of that couple and her own relationship with Odom, Connell enriches our understanding of these partnerships from her contemporary, queer, and feminist perspective.- Chujun, Xu. "Imagining a Radical Photography." Artist Magazine 600 (May 2025): 300-303. Reproduced: p. 302
