Myths of the Self with Stephanie Brunia

Explore how artist Stephanie Brunia employs photography to examine the intangible and create stories drawn from deep personal narratives. In conjunction with the exhibition Tell Me a Story, visit Brunia’s photographs on view and learn more about her history and process of visual storytelling.   Photographer Stephanie Brunia has built her career and artistic practice exploring these questions through deeply personal work—from restaging Pre-Raphaelite paintings with diverse contemporary women (on view in Tell Me a Story), to documenting her relationship with her aging father in Thursday's Child, to her recent series examining motherhood and domestic life. An Iowa Arts Council fellowship recipient whose work has been featured in the Des Moines Art Center's Iowa Artists exhibition and shown at venues from Houston to Switzerland, Brunia discusses how she uses photography to create narratives drawn from lived experience.
