Transmission Gallery is pleased to present Framing identity, photographs from Jeannie O'Connor's Creative Growth Artists' Chalkboard Drawings Self-Portrait Project.

Setting the scene while letting go of the photographic moment, O’Connor handed her subjects control of their identity in this series of self-portraits with chalkboard drawings by Creative Growth Artists.

Completed in 2016, O'Connor invited the participation of Creative Growth Artists in making a series of Chalkboard Drawing Self Portraits. Expressively exuberant, the drawings form the backdrop for each artist's portrait, capturing their sense of self and providing a glimpse into their creative experience, largely free from self-judgment and oppressive expectation.

Three Photo Tex prints, including an unusual 96" x 4" image strip, anchor the exhibition, setting the scene of the self-portrait experience O'Connor developed. Other photos include Platinum Palladium prints on watercolor paper and eight Archival Pigment prints on Baryta Photographique, with a selection of 4x5 photos available, printed on Hahnemule watercolor paper.
