Emily Keegin was born in San Francisco in 1980. In 2009, she received her MFA in Photography from Royal College of Art in London. She is currently based in Brooklyn. About this series, ‘Homeland’, she writes, ‘Pivoting around a set of studio self-portraits, this work focuses on issues of and the 21st century American Dream, investigating contemporary femininity and aging through the relationship of domestic materials to the body. Gesture and object result in a series of meetings between the masculine and the feminine, organic and inorganic. Part personal narrative, and part social commentary, the work slips between comfort and newness, tradition and surprise, flopping between the banal and iconic.

Emily Keegin! You are so good. I was just looking at some of your black & whites. Wonderful….
Hi Emily,
Looong time, but I hope you remember I am Sarah’s mom. Was thinking of your mom and heard she was at a Mount Tam mom’s tea, but, I live in Canada now and missed it. I am in SF now, tho, and would love to be in touch and looked for you on FB. So, this is my way of finding your Mom’s # or email. I will give you mine if you want to pass on. Sarah is here in SF in the Mission working on her Master’s in Psychology and I know would love to hear from you. I trust this finds you well, happy and thriving in Brooklyn. Margot Schou is living there now, as well, btw. She is going to Colombia.
Your photos are edgy, fantastic, raw and provocative. You are amazing. Congratulations on everything. Do take special care and I look forward to hearing something back when you have a moment. All the best and much love to you, Dianne
