Kell Connell: Double LifePresented by Gallery 339 at Gallery 339 May 11-July 21, 2012 In Double Life, Kelli Connell constructs scenes that appear to be tender everyday moments from a relationship—a couple flirts or argues or gently holds each other.

This unexpected revelation is particularly satisfying because it is not a sharp punch line; it is a slowly emerging realization,... | Gallery 339 | 05/11/12-
