Portraits in Color is an evolving body of work that focuses on capturing the color and character of artists and performers in the queer community. Using drag as a vehicle to capture hidden personas, these intimate portraits are a result of collaborative and playful studio sessions involving loud music, constant costume changes and lots of wigs.

Together, we create a narrative that brings out the surreal, unique and fantastic characters that lurk beneath the surface of our daily Bloomington lives.

ABOUT THE ARTIST
Brick Daniel Kyle is a graphic designer, photographer and digital artist based in Bloomington, Indiana. Since completing his degree in Fine Arts from Indiana University in 2012, he has been working as the graphic designer for The Back Door.  The constant influx of performers and artists has inspired him to pursue photography as a means to explore and reveal the queer community of Bloomington, and the infinitely varied ways in which they perform and present their identities.

Unmended is an exploration of familial legacy in the aftermath of loss. The
pieces in this series, photographs of my deceased grandparents’
farmhouse in the years before and after their passing, represent a home in
transition through the stages of grief and acceptance. Unmended merges
photographs, textiles, and hand embroidery to express a looming fear of
memory loss. In an attempt to hold close the memories associated with this
place, photographs are layered and mended together in an effort to repair
what is easily forgotten.

ABOUT THE ARTIST
Sara Fahling is an artist from Grand Rapids, Michigan who explores ideas of familial legacy, loss, mending and memory. In 2014, Sara received her BFA in photography from Kendall College of Art and Design with Honors and in 2018 she completed her MFA in photography from Indiana University. She received a Student Award for Innovations in Imaging from the Society of Photographic Education and was recognized for her achievements at the 2018 national conference in Philadelphia.
