States of Union

Image credit: States of Union 11, by Alix Smith.

New York photographer Alix Smith will lecture on her project, “States of Union,” a series of color portraits of same-sex families. These may be as few as two individuals who are in a committed relationship and live as a social unit. These units may include pets and may have biological, fostered, or adopted children. Loosely referencing historical portraits by painters Monet, Renoir, Sargent, and others, her work celebrates an expanded view of family.
