Kelli will discuss her photographic “life project,” Liminal, started in the Summer of 2003. At that time, Kelli was determined to incorporate photography into her daily life. As her project evolved, over the last 15 years, society followed along, creating and participating in this inherently human compulsion. She will discuss the evolution of her project based on her belief that as we frame a photograph, so to can we frame the relationship that we have to our existence.
