RegisterKnown for surreal photographs of multiplying animals, addictive snack food, and monochromatic interiors, Sandy Skoglund joins for a virtual conversation with McNay curators René Paul Barilleaux and Lauren Thompson. Skoglund’s artwork is featured in the current exhibition, Limitless! Five Women Reshape Contemporary Art, including two major three-dimensional installations each accompanied by large vivid, color photograph. In this conversation, Skoglund revisits her iconic photographs and explores the new body of artworks that recently emerged from the classic images.

As a sculptor, installation artist, and photographer, Skoglund creates artwork that embraces humor, home, surrealism, and, at times, unease. Skoglund creates dramatic tableaux in vibrant color schemes and then photographs people within them.
