Her imagery relies on the tension between an apparently approachable subject matter and a dark, sometimes disturbing subtext. Andres will discuss her work from the past six years in this illustrated lecture, The Homecoming. She will include images from multiple series including Stories from a Short Street (2005-06), photographs inspired by Andres’ experience growing up in rural Montana. In Sparrow Lane (2008) Andres’ presents an elliptical narrative of young women on the verge of adulthood and in Anna’s Birthday Party (2009-10) a young girl’s birthday party has gone awry. Finally, The Fall of Spring Hill (2011) ponders the complexity of childhood, the fleeting nature of memory, and female introspection.
