Alexis Hunley

My name is Alexis Hunley and I’m a photographer based in Los Angeles, California. I started teaching myself photography in 2017, and have enjoyed producing editorial, lifestyle, and commercial work these past three years. Recently, my work during quarantine has shifted toward documenting the impact the COVID-19 pandemic has had on my neighborhood. As we’ve seen over the last several months, Black communities are being devastated across the country. I have been documenting life at home with my family, as well as moments with my neighbors, and in my community. I understand that as we move into a new way of life, my neighborhood will be faced with hardships that individuals in Bel-Air or Calabasas will never face. Our stories are too often overlooked or forgotten, so it is critical for future generations that Black documentarians such as myself, tell the stories of our communities from our own perspectives.

Bri McDaniel

I am a black artist located in the Pacific Northwest with two toddlers and two cats. I create images to empower mothers. I am inspired by the idea of being seen. It is important for me to maintain a platform that gives voice to those who would normally go overlooked. I love Texas Pete hot sauce, plants, and trap music.

Edwynn Houk Gallery is pleased to present Elinor Carucci’s latest body of work, Midlife

In this new series spanning the past eight years, Carucci continues to explore themes of identity, relationships, and the passage of time by documenting herself and her family in their daily lives, a practice that has long been central to her work. Through these deeply personal photographs—which range from moments of intimacy and emotionally charged scenes, to the most mundane tasks of running a household—the artist’s vulnerability and total honesty to her audience invite viewers to recognize their own experiences in hers.

Carucci’s images have always been distinguished by an ability to illustrate the universality of human emotions by zeroing in on carefully composed scenes of domesticity. Yet, Midlife feels particularly compelling because it chooses as its subject matter a period in life that is rarely acknowledged, much less celebrated. Youthful beauty and the advent of motherhood are familiar motifs in the history of art, but the narrative of women’s lives seems to stop there. More than simply shining a light on the midlife years, Carucci presents an intensive and tender investigation into the effects of time on her body, her self-identity in all its complexity, and her relationships with her family members as they each move through new phases of their lives. Midlife is also the subject of an acclaimed monograph published by The Monacelli Press.

The Midlife viewing room will be live from September 10th through October 22nd, 2020 on the newly redesigned Edwynn Houk Gallery website. An artist talk about Carucci’s career and a virtual reception for the exhibition will be hosted by the School of Visual Arts on Thursday, September 10th from 6:30 to 8:00 PM. Please visit to register for the event, which will be held on Zoom.
