Jessie's Cut, 1985Recently I paged through Sally Mann's Immediate Family book. I've been a fan of this series since I first saw it my freshman year, but it was really nice to revisit it. These were a few of my favorite images. (Especially the one above- something about the starkness and ambiguity of that image absolutely mesmerizes me. And the soft spot in me loves that Jessie is spelled with an -ie like mine.)
White Skates, 1990
The New Mothers, 1989The one above reminds me of my sister and me.
Hangnail, 1989
Night Blooming Cereus, 1988
Yard Eggs, 1991
Tobacco Spit, 1987Mann was featured in the first season of Art:21. If you somehow don't know the show then look it up- it's all interviews with all sorts of different artists about their work and their processes... it's amazing. This is a portion of her interview, although I definitely recommend looking up the whole thing. The whole episode is free on PBS's website.. start at chapter 6
Watch the full episode. See more ART:21.
