'''Anna Gaskell''' (born October 22, 1969<ref name=":8">{{cite news |url=http://www.artnet.com/artists/anna-gaskell/|title=Anna Gaskell |work=Artnet.com |date=November 23, 2013 |access-date=November 23, 2013}}</ref>) is an American art photographer and artist from Des Moines, Iowa.<ref name=":2" />
She is best known for her photographic series that she calls "elliptical narratives" which are similar to the works produced by Cindy Sherman.<!--should be in body of article, with the ref, not here--> Like Sherman, Gaskell's works are influenced by film and painting, rather than the typical conventions of photography.<ref name=":8" /> She lives in Los Angeles.<ref name=":2">{{cite web|title = Anna Gaskell|url = http://www.guggenheim.org/new-york/collections/collection-online/artwork/9389|publisher = The Solomon R.

== Early life and education == Gaskell's mother was an evangelical Christian who brought Anna and her brother along on "wild pilgrimages throughout the Midwest," where they would witness miracles being performed, acts of healing, people speaking in tongues, and other Charismatic Christian practices. She claims that she does not remember anything strange about these acts, "but more a feeling of excitement and a security in the faith that [she] felt from everyone there." Gaskell says that her work revolves around a similar idea of faith, believing the possibility of the impossible and suspension of disbelief.<ref name=":6" /> After studying for two years at Bennington College,<ref name=":2" /> she received her BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 1992.<ref name=":1">"Gaskell, Anna."

==Career==
Gaskell stages all of her scenes, using the style of "narrative photography," wherein each scene exists only to be photographed. Gaskell pioneers a new discourse of contemporary photography where within each of her series, the narrative of her photographs is disrupted, "its fragments functioning like film stills excised from their context but suggesting a missing whole."<ref name=":6" /> There are gaps of space and time left between each photograph, evoking a "vivid and dreamlike world."<ref name=":0">{{Cite book|title = Moving Pictures: Contemporary Photography and Video from the Guggenheim Museum Collections|publisher = The Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation|year = 2003|isbn = 0-89207-269-5}}</ref> In a 2002 interview with curator Matthew Drutt of the Menil Collection, Gaskell describes her creative process and the inspiration she draws from other sources in the following way: "The stories and events that I choose to use as jumping-off points are simply that. They are only a part of what goes into the work, and perhaps a useful reference for viewers. [...] Trying to combine fiction, fact, and my own personal mishmash of life into something new is how I make my work. Into all of this, I try to insert a degree of mystery that ensures that the dots may not connect in the same way every time."<ref name=":6">{{Cite book|title = Anna Gaskell: half life|last = Drutt|first = Matthew|publisher = Menil Foundation, Inc|year = 2002|isbn = 0-939594-54-4|location = Houston, Texas}}</ref>
===1990s===
'''1996'''
In haunting photographic scenes of preadolescent girls, Gaskell alludes to well-known children's literature, such as Lewis Carroll's ''Alice's Adventures in Wonderland,'' which can be found in two of her series: w''onder'' (1996–97) and ''override'' (1997). Gaskell made her international debut with the twenty photograph series, ''wonder'' (1996–97),<ref name=":4">{{Cite book|title = Anna Gaskell|last = Clearwater|first = Bonnie|publisher = Museum of Contemporary Art|year = 1998|isbn = 1-888708-05-0}}</ref> the first series Gaskell created after receiving her MFA at Yale University School of Art.<ref>{{Cite book|title = Bits & Pieces Put Together to Present a Semblance of a Whole: Walker Art Center Collections|last = Hofmann|first = Irene E|publisher = Walker Art Center|year = 2005|location = Minneapolis, MN}}</ref> ''wonder'', which draws the viewer in with stained-glass coloration intensified by lamination,<ref name=":4" /> features two identically dressed Alices photographed together and separately and at oblique angles that recall the disorienting experiences of Alice in Wonderland.<ref name=":3" /> For example, in ''Untitled #1'' of ''wonder,'' one of the Alices is pictured treading in a pool of her tears, "her body grotesquely distorted by the refraction of light on the water"<ref name=":4" /> and in ''Untitled #2'', one Alice leans over the other, plugging her nose, seemingly about to perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. These two photographs also demonstrate how Gaskell takes on the role of "unreliable narrator" within her series by her "use of photography as a format which invites the suspension of disbelief, with her codings and fragmentations of the frames exposing the viewer to the inconsistencies and assumptions that are held in place by realist photographic as well as narrative conventions.” <ref>{{Cite book|title=Feminism Reframed: Reflections on Art and Difference|last=Kokoli|first=Alexandra M.|publisher=Cambridge Scholars Publishing|year=2009|isbn=9781443815116}}</ref> Through the use of different sized photographs, Gaskell displays an instability in Alice by referring to the character's growth spurts and shrinking spells.<ref name=":2" />
'''1997'''
In the series ''override'', allusions to ''Alice's Adventures in Wonderland'' are made again, as in ''wonder'', but in this series, the scenarios are drawn from Gaskell's own imagination.<ref name=":4" /> ''override'' features seven versions of Alice which alternate between roles of victim and aggressor. A description about the series written by Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum curators states, "[The seven versions of Alice] try to control the changes to her body by literally, physically holding her in place — a potent metaphor for the anxiety and confusion experienced by children on the verge of adolescence."<ref name=":0" /> Color and chiaroscuro play a large role in Gaskell's work as they lead the viewer to the main source of action in each piece. While the ''wonder'' series features cool blue tones, the photographs featured in ''override'' were captured in the "golden hues of Twilight." The constantly changing scale of the photographs, the physical stretching and pulling actions performed by the models, and the range of size of the photographs themselves (6 x 7 1/4 inches to 60 x 90 inches) all relate to the central metaphor of Alice in Wonderland: change.<ref name=":4" />
Gaskell's film ''Floater'' repeats in a backwards sequence a scene of an Ophelia-like young woman in a pool of water, trying to decide whether she should drown or save herself. The theme of this cycle of indecision is seen again in her series ''half life'' in 2002.<ref name=":6" />
'''1998'''
In her photographic series, ''[http://whitecube.com/exhibitions/anna_gaskell_hide_duke_street_1999/ hide]'', Gaskell references a lesser-known Brothers Grimm tale, "The Magic Donkey."<ref name=":5">{{Cite book|title = Anna Gaskell: by proxy|publisher = Aspen Art Museum|year = 2000|isbn = 0-934324-28-X}}</ref> This series features young girls alone in a gothic mansion, creating a sense of dread and underlying sexual intrigue that takes its impetus from the tale of a young woman forced to hide beneath animal skins to hide from the matrimonial desires of her father.<ref name=":3">Nancy Spector, "The Fiction of Fiction: An Exquisite Unease," in Anna Gaskell (NY: powerHouse Books: 2001) {{ISBN|1-57687-069-3}}.</ref> The name of the series is drawn from the children's game hide-and-seek, the dual personality of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and the literal skin, or hide, that creates a boundary between the inside and the outside, the self and the other.<ref name=":9" />
'''1999'''
In 1999, Gaskell produced two series, ''Sally Salt says'' and ''by proxy'', both of which featured Sally Salt, the female protagonist in ''The Adventures of Baron Munchausen'', a 1988 British comedy film based on the tall tales told about 18th-century German baron Karl Friedrich Hieronymus von Munchausen. ''by proxy'' takes on a darker tone by combining the fictional, gullible, and lovable Sally Salt character with a real-life serial killer, Genene Jones, a pediatric nurse who, in the early 1980s, was found guilty of the murder of several children in Texas. Gaskell's models in ''by proxy'' wear white nurse's outfits. The girls in the photographs represent Genene Jones at different stages in her life, battling with her own tormented mind. The title of the series draws from Munchausen syndrome by proxy, a type of child abuse in which a caregiver purposefully makes a child under their care ill, usually to attract the attention or sympathy of others upon themselves. Though all of her series are imbued with a sense of darkness, compared to the fictional stories depicted in her previous series such as ''override'' and ''wonder'', ''by proxy'' is all the more unsettling in that it highlights real-life and disturbing subjects such as Munchausen syndrome by proxy and the Jones murders.<ref name=":5" />
===2000s===
'''2002'''
Gaskell's ''half life—''drawn from stories such as Daphne du Maurier's ''Rebecca,'' Elizabeth Gaskell's (no relation) "The Old Nurse's Story," and Henry James' ''The Turn of the Screw—''began as an idea for a film installation and evolved into an exhibition combining still and moving images with ten photographs and a film installation. The unnamed central character of ''Rebecca,'' a tale from 1938 about an ingénue who goes abroad, marries a middle-aged patrician, and follows him back to his ancestral estate in Cornwall. There the young woman finds the house filled with the memory of the man's dead first wife, Rebecca, which torments the heroine to the brink of suicide. ''half life'' draws from the idea of Rebecca's presence in the estate and the heroine's mind. This series explores the human psyche, including the experiences of fear, isolation, and uncertainty. As seen in her previous works, the protagonist of ''half life'' is a young woman who finds herself between "the purity of youth and the gradual loss of innocence that comes with maturity." Differing itself from previous series, the question of identity is pushed to a new level in ''half life'' by the almost total exclusion of the main figure. When shown, the woman often has her back to the camera or remains hidden behind her hair.<ref name=":6" /> Gaskell uses dynamic camera angles and elaborately decorated interiors in her photographs in ''half life'' creating a sense of vertigo or claustrophobia. The accompanying 21-minute film, similar to her piece, ''Floater'' (1997), features a woman floating under water in a state of non-being, neither fully dead or alive.<ref name=":9">{{Cite web|url=http://whitecube.com/exhibitions/anna_gaskell_half_life_hoxton_square_2002/|title=Anna Gaskell: Half Life|website=White Cube|access-date=March 3, 2016}}</ref>
'''2007'''
In her video, ''Acting Lessons,'' Gaskell plays the protagonist, an actress who is performing a monologue and is continuously interrupted by an acting coach off screen. In this piece, Gaskell adopts "a mundane living room as the setting for her portrayal of emotional power struggles."<ref name=":2" />

== Reception == Grace Glueck, writing in ''The New York Times'' in 2004, described Gaskell as an established "maker of spooky, tension-filled feminine fictions", her work recalling Lewis Carroll's ''Alice in Wonderland'', Daphne du Maurier's novel ''Rebecca'' and the films of Alfred Hitchcock. In Glueck's view, Gaskell's method is "to create a narrative expectation without fulfilling it", each picture hinting at a situation or story, provoking the viewer to speculate. Glueck does not necessarily approve of this, calling the process of challenging the viewer to make a story "do[ing] the artist's work".<ref name="Glueck">{{cite news |last1=Glueck |first1=Grace |title=Art in Review; Anna Gaskell |work=The New York Times |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2004/04/30/arts/art-in-review-anna-gaskell.html?_r=0 |access-date=17 May 2016|agency=The New York Times |date=30 April 2004}}</ref>
Robert Mahoney, reviewing Gaskell's first exhibition of color photographs in 1997, calls the show a "masquerade" with a pair of "pretty twins" playing at ''Alice in Wonderland'' in blue pinafores, white tights and "black Mary Jane shoes". Mahoney calls this an intense search for identity, observing that the use of twins brings out the "mirror-like clarity" of Alice's dream journey. In his view, the blue and white coloration recalls the Virgin Mary, while the use of young women to represent "prepubescent girls" brings sexuality into the images.<ref name="Mahoney">{{cite web |last1=Mahoney |first1=Robert |title=Anna Gaskell's 'Wonder' |url=http://www.artnet.com/magazine_pre2000/reviews/mahoney/mahoney12-16-97.asp |publisher=ArtNet |access-date=17 May 2016}}</ref>
Christopher Mooney, writing for ArtReview in 2014, reviews an exhibition in Paris of Gaskell's photographs alongside her ex-partner Douglas Gordon's "wall, floor, and corner works". Mooney calls it a swan song, the exhibition featuring swan taxidermy in "many" of Gordon's works, and a Bolshoi ballet prima ballerina, Svetlana Lunkina, who "danc[es] across Gaskell's screens". Mooney finds Lunkina the strongest element in the show, Gaskell's photographs displaying her as both graceful and "affecting".<ref name=Mooney>{{cite web |last1=Mooney |first1=Christopher |title=Anna Gaskell and Douglas Gordon: Vampyr |url=http://artreview.com/reviews/december_2014_review_anna_gaskell_and_douglas_gordon/ |publisher=ArtReview |access-date=17 May 2016 |date=December 2014}}</ref>
