Chrissy Lush

Chrissy Lush is drawn to subtle moments that reveal deeper levels of the subconscious. The
self-portrait artist performs these moments for the camera to better understand herself and how
she relates to the world around her. These portraits document a series of gestures that expose latent emotions. The resulting series Hold Me Tight reflects on Lush’s approaching midlife. In one image, the artist curls up in a foetal position; another depicts her sunbathing on a rooftop. These staged scenes are an imagined journey shared between her present-day and younger selves, an attempt to reconcile with the perceived loss of her youth.
