Spring Photograph

Anna Marie Tendler is a multidisciplinary artist working in photography, textiles, drawing, painting and interior design. She holds an M.A. in fashion and textile history from NYU’s Costume Studies program. Her master’s thesis, titled The Lip Filler Phenomenon: Modern Medicine, Kylie Jenner, and Postfeminist Female Sexuality, charts the contemporary history of dermal lip filler, as well as the correlation between plastic surgery and sociocultural politics of female aesthetics. Much like her academic research, Anna’s artistic work explores the many facets and complexities of the female identity. She works out of her home in Connecticut, whose design was her largest artistic endeavor to date, and which provides the mise en scène for most of her photographs.
