  • Catalogue Essay

    “I find the very nature of motherhood fraught with conflicts and fears, as well as with humor and tenderness. . . Photographing my children in those quirky, often emotionally charged moments has helped me acknowledge and resolve some of the inherent contradictions between the idea or image of motherhood and its reality. And it has opened up to me a world of exquisite beauty in a form and place where I would have least expected it.”
    Sally Mann
