Artist Recreates Herself as Seven Different Generations of the Women From the Maternal Side of Her Family

In her photo series “Seven Generations of American Women”, artist Christine McConnell, known for her creative pastry photo series, has perfectly recreated individual family portraits of seven generations of women going back 200 years on her mother’s side and posed herself next to the original. Christine explained the project as “Seven generations (following my maternal line) spanning two centuries… Ancestor on left, me on the right.”
