Kelly Christogiannis

Kelly Christogiannis is a collector of nostalgia. She collects moments when her parents failed as the tooth fairy or Sandman, moments when she (on the beach) burned bright red and ate a karpoúzi with a bottle of Château la Pompe, when her cat Snoesje had fleas and wore neckties, when she was buried in books on Greek mythology and “mighty men” in Greek culture, when all food was drenched in olive oil, when she stopped believing in St. Nicholas, when she hated Barbie dolls and refused to wear dresses, and when she declared she would only marry a horse and never a man. Her work reflects all the little things in life that inspire her, moments you can later look back on with a smile, a tear, or perhaps both.
