Chrissy Lush

Chrissy Lush’s photographs inhabit the threshold between the ordinary and the uncanny. Set in familiar domestic and suburban spaces, her images reveal moments when the surface of daily life begins to fracture—when gestures, objects, and atmosphere hint at something unresolved beneath. Drawing on the language of stillness and restraint, Lush examines the subtle marks left by human presence and the quiet disruptions that expose what is usually concealed. Her work reflects an ongoing inquiry into connection and distance, visibility and control, and the fragile space between what is felt and what is shown.

Chrissy Lush is an American photographer based in Nashville, originally from New York. She holds an MFA from Parsons School of Design and a BFA from SUNY Purchase. Lush’s work has been exhibited nationally and internationally, including at Future Fair in New York, and has been recognized by institutions such as the Royal Photographic Society and Aesthetica. Her self-published monograph Hold Me Tight (2022) was reviewed by Barry Schwabsky in Border Crossings, who described it as “at once funny and poignant.” She is a Critical Mass finalist and a recipient of the Passepartout Photo Prize Exhibition Award, and her work is included in prominent private collections.
