Podcast appearances and mentions of Sally Mann

  "Photography is truth. The cinema is truth 24 times per second." -- Jean-Luc Godard   "What use is having a great depth of field, if there is not an adequate depth of feeling?" -- W. Eugene Smith   In this episode, Antonio and Ward catch up amid packing tape and camping plans. Antonio talks through the experience of unearthing old cameras—including a pair of Olympus XAs he didn't even realize he owned—while preparing for his move. The conversation wanders through gear talk, fond memories of a long-lost Forscher Polaroid back, and a reflective look at how certain tools and artifacts carry pieces of photographic history. Meanwhile, Ward shares a bit about an upcoming camping trip and a brief hands-on with Fujifilm's new GFX camera, which prompts a chat about who these high-megapixel cameras are really for.   Things shift toward the visual language of photography when Antonio brings up the use of shallow depth of field in shows like The Handmaid's Tale. That sparks a back-and-forth on the emotional and narrative power of selective focus, both in film and stills—from Sally Mann's large format portraits to W. Eugene Smith's documentary work. They round out the episode by poking at the growing trend of chasing a “cinematic look” in photography, discussing whether it's a meaningful stylistic choice or just another preset to scroll past.   Subscribe to our Substack Newsletter Help out the show by buying us a coffee!

Jessica Fuentes and William Sarradet discuss recent news stories in Texas, including the controversy surrounding Sally Mann's work, the destruction of artwork installed at the Austin Convention Center, and the closure of the Panhandle-Plains Historical Museum. "The Modern (Art Museum of Fort Worth) had a notification at the entrance stating that the exhibition (Diaries of Home) contained mature content. Is a museum allowed to show work that some people might deem obscene if they provide notice so viewers can make the decision whether or not they want to go in? The Modern, in particular, charges an entry fee, you make a choice to go in."

Hope nefnist nýútkomin plata píanóleikarans Inga Bjarna Skúlasonar en á henni leikur hann ný lög úr eigin smiðju ásamt Hilmari Jenssyni, Anders Jormin og Magnúsi Tryggvasyni Eliassen. Við ræðum við Inga Bjarna um plötuna í þætti dagsins og heyrum nokkur vel valin brot af henni. Trausti Ólafsson rýnir í Heim eftir Hrafnhildi Hagalín sem er sýnt um þessar mundir í Þjóðleikhúsinu. Og við veltum fyrir okkur ritskoðun á verkum Sally Mann í Texas.

Á Listasafni Ísafjarðar stendur nú yfir merkileg myndlistarsýning. Um er að ræða sögusýningu, og að öllum líkindum fyrstu einkasýningu, myndlistarkonunnar Kristínar Þorvaldsdóttur. Kristín var fædd á Ísafirði árið 1870 og fór 12 ára gömul til Kaupmannahafnar í myndlistarnám. Hún lærði líka í Þýskalandi og hugði á framhaldsnám í Róm þegar hún var kölluð heim til að annast börn systur sinnar, sem hafði látist af barnsförum. Kristín var hæfileikarík og vel menntuð og hefði vel getað orðið fyrsta íslenska konan til þess að helga sig myndlist. En eftir þennan örlagaríka atburð hætti hún alfarið að mála og lokaði verk sín ofan í læstum skúffum. Hún er því sannkölluð huldukona í íslenskri myndlist, en þær Rannveig Jónsdóttir og Guðfinna Hreiðarsdóttir, á Listasafni Ísafjarðar, hafa nú haft upp á úrvali verka hennar og sett saman sýningu Kristínu til heiðurs. Nýverið voru fjórar ljósmyndir eftir Sally Mann teknar niður af veggjum nýlistasafnsins í bænum Forth Worth í Texas, og í síðustu viku var staðfest að ljósmyndirnar væru í haldi lögreglu. Yfirtaka lögreglunnar á listaverkunum kom i kjölfar mikillar gagnrýni íhaldsafla í bænum sem segja verkin vera barnaklám. Þetta er ekki í fyrsta sinn sem ljósmyndir Sally Mann vekja umtal og gagnrýni. Verk hennar vöktu heitar umræður þegar þær komu fyrst fyrir sjónir almennings og hafa gert það reglulega síðan. Mann er einn virtasti ljósmyndari Bandaríkjanna, hefur sýnt verk sín í öllum helstu söfnum landsins og miklu víðar, gefið út verðlaunaðar bækur og hlotið fjölda viðurkenninga. Viðfangsefni verka hennar eru fjölbreytt en, líkamar, umbreytingaferli og landslag eru rauður þráður í verkum hennar, sem og fagurfræði ljósmyndatækni síðustu og þar síðustu aldar. Og það vill svo skemmtilega til að verk hennar eru nú til sýnis á Listasafni Íslands, á samsýningunni Nánd hversdagsins þar sem fimm alþjóðlegir ljósmyndarar eiga verk. Við hittum Einar Fal Ingólfsson við verk Mann í þætti dagsins. Við heyrum einnig leikhúsrýni, að þessu sinni rýnir Katla Ársælsdóttir í Skeljar, nýtt íslenskt verk eftir Magnús Thorlacius sem sýnt er í Ásmundarsal.

We are back this week with our monthly edition of the Art Angle Roundup, where co-hosts Kate Brown and Ben Davis are joined by a guest to discuss some of the biggest headlines of the month. This week, Caroline Goldstein, acting managing editor of Artnet News, joins the show. It's been quite the January. Though it is typically a slow month, some major stories have transpired. We'll be talking about censorship in the museum world in the U.S., looking in particular at the case of two Sally Mann photographs that were seized from a museum in Dallas, Texas. We will also talk about the passing of the filmmaker David Lynch on January 15. Lynch is famous for his films, but he was also a respected artist with his fair share of institutional exhibitions under his belt. He has always been a painter, but do we like his paintings? We discuss. Lynch has been represented by Pace Gallery since 2022. We take a look at his artistic legacy and his enigmatic ways. Last but not least, New York's prestigious Metropolitan Museum has ventured into the blockchain world of all places with a free-to-play video game that you can access on Web3. The game was launched this month together with TR Lab, a platform that aims to connect artists and technologists and creates and sells fine art collectibles. The Met's new game, called Art Links, does weekly drops. If you win you can collect badges in your OpenSea wallet and win IRL prizes. Sound fun? Maybe not? We each played it and gave it our honest review. —Kate Brown

Kerstin Ekmans Rätten att häda från 1994 är ett rykande försvar för yttrandefriheten och det klara förnuftet. Ulrika Knutson läser en text som samtidigt är högaktuell och en produkt av sin tid. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna. Publicerad 2020-08-17.Sverige har världens äldsta tryckfrihetslagar, från 1766. Vi kan tacka Peter Forsskål för dem. Hans pamflett Tankar om Borgerliga Friheten inspirerade några år tidigare. Högst av alla friheter satte han skriv-friheten.Hans text blev genast indragen av censuren och Forsskål fick gå i landsflykt. Det passade honom inte så illa. Han var en av Linnés lärjungar. Tyvärr dog han i Jemen, bara 31 år gammal. Linné döpte en liten nässla efter honom, till Forsskalea Tennacissima - "kärv, stickig, hårdnackad och envis".Som Linnélärjunge strävade Forsskål efter nytta. Skrivfriheten hade ganska lite med jagets romantiska uttrycksbehov att göra. Snarare handlade det om jagets behov av kunskap.Alla medborgare måste få bli bekanta med "samhällets tillstånd", ansåg Forsskål. Det var en djärv åsikt på hans tid, när de flesta svenskar slet ont i jordbruket och inte begärde mer än en sup eller två när arbetsdagen var slut. Samhällets tillstånd orkade ingen bry sig om.Men Forsskål var optimist. Han trodde på folkbildning. Friheten krävde inte bara fri press utan ett "upplyst publikum".Idag lever vi i det fria ordets paradox. Ordet är friare än någonsin - hos oss i Sverige - men Forsskål hade nog tyckt att "den upplysta publiken" beter sig konstigt. Konspirationer och fakta-resistens skulle han inte ha gillat. Han hade väntat mer av det klara förnuft som också Kerstin Ekman hyllar i sitt tal Rätten att häda. Hållet den 15 oktober 1994.När hon talade hade krutröken ännu inte lagt sig. Bara fem år tidigare hade Ekman och Lars Gyllensten lämnat Svenska Akademien, i protest mot att den vägrat ge sitt stöd åt Salman Rushdie. Hans roman Satansverserna hade de iranska ayatollornas fatwa över sig. Rushdie hade gått under jorden. Bara året innan hade hans norske förläggare William Nygaard nätt och jämnt överlevt ett mordattentat. Faran är inte över. Det finns fortfarande ett pris på Salman Rushdies huvud.Texten var länge ur tryck, men återpublicerades våren 2020 i tidskriften Essä, tillsammans med sex kommenterande texter. Kerstin Ekmans tal är dubbelt läsvärt, både som appell för yttrandefriheten och som kulturhistorisk produkt av sin tid. 1994 är länge sedan.Talet speglar tiden före den stora mediala revolutionen. Webb och sociala medier var knappt påtänkta. Mobiler låg inte i var mans ficka. Det var bara fem år efter murens fall. Svenska Akademiens uppfattning vägde tungt. Dess kapital var ännu stort.Kerstin Ekmans tal handlar inte så mycket om Salman Rushdie och islam, utan mer om upplysningen och försvaret av den "skeptiska humanismen" i Hjalmar Söderbergs anda. Här ser man hur mycket Söderberg betytt för Ekman. Hon börjar med en chockeffekt, beskriver en barnpornografisk bild, där två män urinerar på en liten flicka. Hon äcklas, ändå vill hon försvara rätten att publicera den. Hon hyllar de gamla grundlagarna och Forsskåls tryckfrihet. Några år senare svängde det - idag är det förbjudet att inneha, till och med att betrakta en sådan bild. Och märk väl, en av de få som fällts för detta brott är ingen vanekriminell, utan serieöversättaren Simon Lundström, som i sin dator hade japanska mangateckningar. "Döma teckningar, är svenskarna inte riktigt kloka"? undrade den amerikanska fotografen Sally Mann.Kerstin Ekmans text är kärv, stickig och envis, som Forsskåls nässla. Riktigt giftig när hon skildrar den svenska aningslösa välviljan, de "rosiga kindernas cynism" - till exempel i form av ekosocialister som drömmer om ett paradis bortom demokratin. Detta fenomen försvann inte med nittiotalet. "De rosiga kindernas cynism" - vilket uttryck - blossar upp då och då, både i klimatdebatten och i identitetspolitiken. Eller vad ska man säga om Uppsala universitet som glömde allt de visste om akademisk frihet och källkritik, och mästrade kulturantropologen Ingalill Arvidsson för att hon på ett seminarium, uppmanad att svara på en fråga om uppslagsord i gamla arkiv, använt n-ordet, som var det konkreta uppslagsordet. Detta inte menat som stöd för de frihetskämpar som bryr sig mindre om samhällets tillstånd än rätten att köpa n-ordsbollar i närbutiken så fort suget slår till.Kerstin Ekman talar också om "den vämjeliga bönhustraditionen" i Sverige, med dess drag av botgöring och underkastelse. Detta förstod nog den bildade borgerligheten för 25 år sedan, särskilt om de legat i Uppsala och lyssnat på när Ingmar Hedenius läste lusen av biskoparna. Men idag i världens modernaste land - vem ska ta åt sig? 68-vänstern eller P O Enquist och arvet från Hjoggböle. Lite bönhus ska väl den sekulariserade svensken tåla?Kerstin Ekmans text kommenteras hövligt av sex olika författare. Det är bara Agneta Pleijel som törs ta henne på allvar, och svara på Ekmans skarpa kritik av religion, och av Birgitta Trotzig. Pleijel menar att Kerstin Ekman gick för långt när hon skrev att intresset för plågade sovjetiska öden, som poeterna Mandelstam, Tsvetajeva och Achmatova, ibland fått karaktären av dödsfascination - "en på mycket långt håll ljuv svindel inför deras undergång".Detta är inget huvudspår i Kerstin Ekmans text, men det är starka ord. Kerstin Ekman själv, liksom Hjalmar Söderberg, uppehåller sig ofta vid nazisternas illgärningar, utan svindel vid avgrunden. Detta måste ha med tiden att göra. Det var ju 1994, de sovjetiska arkiven hade just blivit tillgängliga och alla fynden gav många rubriker. Det var först då som man fick veta att Osip Mandelstam verkligen dog i ett uppsamlingsläger på väg till Vladivostok. Det kan förresten vara på sin plats att påminna om att de ryska arkiven inte längre är öppna. Putin sitter på nycklarna sedan många år. Men då hade fakta just börjat röra sig. Kunde detta förväxlas med dödsfascination?Ett uppriktigt tack får Kerstin Ekman från Mohammad Fazlhashemi, nu professor i islamsk teologi och filosofi i Uppsala. Han ger bakgrunden till fatwan mot Rushdie, hur den shiamuslimske ayatollan Khomeini hittade ett utrymme för att framstå som den sanne försvararen av islam, också i sunniters ögon. Det var ett politiskt mästardrag. Mycket tragiskt däremot, att inte de diplomatiska ansträngningarna förmådde efterträdaren Khamenei att lätta på fatwan. Ett tag såg det så ut.Vad Mohammad Fazlhashemi tackar Kerstin Ekman för är att hennes klara förnuft vägrade skuldbelägga alla muslimer för brottet mot Rushdie, något som sker då och då, i vår upplysta tid. Professor Fazlhashemi bidrar med en personlig anekdot. När debatten rasade som värst skulle han själv lämna in bilen till reparation hemma i Umeå. Mekanikern tog nycklarna, spände ögonen i professorn och ville ha besked, inte om kardanknutar eller bromsar. Han ville veta om kunden var villig att verkställa den dödliga fatwan mot Rushdie och hans svenska förläggare. Fazlhashemi skakade av sig alla känslor frågan väckte, och gav ett kort och koncist svar: Nej!Ett kvarts sekel går fort. Mycket hinner hända, eller händer inte alls. Ungefär vid samma tid då tidskriften Essä tryckte om Kerstin Ekmans text ombads Svenska Akademien att lägga ett ord för den fängslade svenske medborgaren Gui minhai. Men Akademien tyckte inte att det var deras uppgift att försvara Guis yttrandefrihet. Det finns andra organisationer som sköter sådana saker betydligt bättre än Akademien, enligt ständige sekreteraren. Och det är ju tur.Ulrika Knutson, journalist och författareKällorEmi-Simone Zawall (red): Tidskriften Essä, nummer 5: Rätten att häda, 2020.

Lichen is a strange presence on this planet. Traditionally, scientists have understood lichen as a new organism formed through symbiosis between a fungus and an algae. But the science is evolving. It seems that there may be more than one species of fungus involved in this symbiosis, and some scientists have suggested that lichen could be described as both an ecosystem and an organism. Lichen may even be immortal, in some sense of the word.In lichen, the poet Forrest Gander finds both the mystery of the forest and a rich metaphor for our symbiosis with one another and with the planet, for the relationship between the dead and the living, and for how our relationships with others change us indelibly. In his poem, “Forest,” lichen are a sensual presence, even erotic, living in relationship to the other beings around them. They resemble us, strangely, despite our dramatic differences.The words of the poem teem with life, like the forest they explore, and Forrest's marvelous reading of the poem adds a panoply of meanings and feelings through his annunciation, his breaths, his breaks. It's phenomenal.This poem, and his work more broadly, is about nothing less that who we are on this Earth and how we live—how we thrive—in relationship.Forrest Gander writes poetry, novels, essays, and translations. He is the recipient of many awards and honors, including a Guggenheim Fellowship and the Pulitzer Prize in poetry for his book, Be With. As an undergraduate, like me, he studied geology, which became foundational to his engagement with ecological ethics and poetics.Forrest often collaborates with other artists on books and exhibitions, including a project with the photographer Sally Mann. His latest book of poetry is a collaboration with the photographer Jack Shear, called Knot (spelled with a “k”). He recently collaborated with artist Ashwini Bhat on an exhibition at the Shoshana Wayne Gallery in Los Angeles, called “In Your Arms I'm Radiant.”His poem, “Forest,” is from his 2021 collection of poems, Twice Alive.Forrest has taught at Harvard University and Brown University. He spoke to me from his home in Northern California, where he now lives.This episode of Chrysalis is part of the Chrysalis Poets series, which focuses on a single poems from poets who confront ecological issues in their work.You can listen on Substack, Apple Podcasts, and other podcast platforms.Please rate, review, and share to help us spread the word!Forrest GanderBorn in the Mojave Desert in Barstow, California, Forrest Gander grew up in Virginia. He spend significant years in San Francisco, Dolores Hidalgo (Mexico), Eureka Springs, and Providence. With the late poet CD Wright, he has a son, the artist Brecht Wright Gander. Forrest holds degrees in both Geology and English literature. He lives now in Northern California with his wife, the artist Ashwini Bhat. Gander's book Be With was awarded the 2019 Pulitzer Prize. Concerned with the way we are revised and translated in encounters with the foreign, his book Core Samples from the World was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Critics Circle Award. Gander has collaborated frequently with other artists including photographers Sally Mann, Graciela Iturbide, Raymond Meeks, and Lucas Foglia, glass artist Michael Rogers, ceramic artists Rick Hirsch and Ashwini Bhat, artists Ann Hamilton, Tjibbe Hooghiemstra, dancers Eiko & Koma, and musicians Vic Chesnutt and Brady Earnhart, among others.   The author of numerous other books of poetry, including Redstart: An Ecological Poetics and Science & Steepleflower, Gander also writes novels (As a Friend; The Trace), essays (A Faithful Existence) and translates. Recent translations include It Must Be a Misunderstanding by Coral Bracho, Names and Rivers by Shuri Kido, and Then Come Back: the Lost Neruda Poems. His most recent anthologies are Pinholes in the Night: Essential Poems from Latin American (selected by Raúl Zurita) and Panic Cure: Poems from Spain for the 21st Century.Gander's books have been translated and published in more than a dozen other languages. He is a United States Artists Rockefeller Fellow and has received fellowships from The National Endowment for the Arts and the Guggenheim, Whiting, and Howard Foundations. In 2011, he was awarded the Library of Congress Witter Bynner Fellowship. Gander was the Briggs-Copeland poet at Harvard University before becoming The Adele Kellenberg Seaver Professor of Literary Arts and Comparative Literature at Brown University where he taught courses such as Poetry & Ethics, EcoPoetics, Latin American Death Trip, and Translation Theory & Practice. He is an Emeritus Chancellor for the Academy for the Academy of American Poets and is an elected member of The Academy of Arts & Sciences.Gander co-edited Lost Roads Publishers with CD Wright for twenty years, soliciting, editing, and publishing books by more than thirty writers, including Michael Harper, Kamau Brathwaite, Arthur Sze, Fanny Howe, Frances Mayes, Steve Stern, Zuleyka Benitez, and René Char.“Forest”By Forrest GanderErogenous zones in oaks slung with stoles of lace lichen the sun's rays spilling through leaves in broken packets a force call it nighttime thrusts mushrooms up from their lair of spawn mycelial loam the whiff of port they pop into un- trammeled air with the sort of gasp that follows a fine chess move like memories are they? or punctuation? was it something the earth said to provoke our response tasking us to recall an evolutionary course our long ago initation into the one- among-others and within my newborn noticing have you popped up beside me love or were you here from the start a swarm of meaning and decay still gripping the underworld both of us half-buried holding fast if briefly to a swelling vastness while our coupling begins to register in the already awake compendium that offers to take us in you take me in and abundance floods us floats us out we fill each with the other all morning breaks as birdsong over us who rise to the surface so our faces might be sprungRecommended Readings & MediaForrest Gander reading his poem “Unto Ourselves” from Twice Alive.TranscriptIntroJohn FiegeLichen is a strange presence on this planet.

He is the recipient of many awards and honors, including a Guggenheim Fellowship, and the Pulitzer Prize in poetry for his book Be With. Forrest often collaborates with other artists on books and exhibitions, including a project with a photographer Sally Mann. His latest book of poetry is a collaboration with a photographer Jack Scheer called Knot. He recently collaborated with artist Ashwini Bhat on an exhibition at the Shoshana Wayne Gallery in Los Angeles, called In Your Arms I'm Radiant. His poem, "Forest," is from his 2021 collection of poems, Twice Alive. Forrest has taught at Harvard University and Brown University. He spoke to me from his home in Northern California, where he now lives. Here is Forrest Gander reading his poem "Forest."PoemForrest Gander“Forest”Erogenous zones in oaks slung with stoles of lace lichen the sun's rays spilling through leaves in broken packets a force call it nighttime thrusts mushrooms up from their lair of spawn mycelial loam the whiff of port they pop into un- trammeled air with the sort of gasp that follows a fine chess move like memories are they? or punctuation? was it something the earth said to provoke our response tasking us to recall an evolutionary course our long ago initation into the one- among-others and within my newborn noticing have you popped up beside me love or were you here from the start a swarm of meaning and decay still gripping the underworld both of us half-buried holding fast if briefly to a swelling vastness while our coupling begins to register in the already awake compendium that offers to take us in you take me in and abundance floods us floats us out we fill each with the other all morning breaks as birdsong over us who rise to the surface so our faces might be sprungConversationJohn FiegeThank you. It's so wonderful hearing you read it, the intonation and the flow of the words and your emphasis is just like completely new hearing you read it, rather than just reading it myself. I want to start with the sexual imagery. You begin with "erogenous zones in oaks, slung with stoles of lace lichen." And that last line, "stoles of lace lichen the," that was one of the things that jumped out to me, is the is at the end of the line there. And you read it as if it was the end of the line rather than pausing and using it as part of the next stanza. But in addition to these, this erogenous zone, you've got thrusting mushrooms in a layer of spawn, and sexual imagery doesn't often accompany decomposition, and decomposers like lichen and in fungi, but this combination brings a strong sense of the interconnectedness of life and death of reproduction and decomposition. And so this is the cyclical world we live in, even though we're often myopically or delusionally, focused on some kind of progressive, linear, supernaturally immortal view of our lives. How are you imagining the reader encountering the beginning of this poem, and its images of sexually charged decomposition?Forrest GanderI'm, uh, trying to connect decomposition and eros, or the merging of more than one species, one individual, into a community. And I'm trying to use a syntax, which you notice, that also doesn't easily separate itself into clear, discrete sentences, but seems to be connected at both ends. And the sense is for us to lose our security in reading our feeling that we dominate the reading that we can figure it out quickly and divide it up into these parcels, and instead, create a kind of reading experience that mimics the kind of experience that we actually live, where everything is connected, and, and where the erotic and the decomposing are involved in the same processes.John FiegeYeah, and thanks to Governor Jerry Brown, lace lichen is now the official California state lichen making...Forrest Gander(Chuckles) Isn't that great? John Fiege...making California the first state to recognize a lichen as a state symbol. And the poem, like you were saying, how the syntax is mimicking the organic world. Visually, the line breaks and the varied intended indentations appear as local lace lichen itself. Can you talk about your relationship with lichen?Forrest GanderYes. You know, I think like you think, which is why you're doing these podcasts, that we're in an exigent historical moment where the environment is rapidly changing, and species are rapidly disappearing. And we've been hearing about this for decades without really responding in a sufficient way to the exigency of our situation. So I'm trying to find models of, instead of just heaping on more climate information horror, I'm trying to find models of other ways of thinking about our relationship with the world. And one, since I have a background in science—I have a degree in geology—is a scientific one. And I worked with a mycologist, named Anne Pringle, who taught me to see fungus and lichen in places where I hadn't been seeing them before. And it turns out lichen covers about 92% of the world you can find lichen in. And despite that, most people know what it is. They've seen, like on rocks, green, brown, little spots. It turns out, scientists don't really know what lichen is.John FiegeIt's cool to find something that scientists don't feel like they know that much about.Forrest GanderIt is! And yet, it seems like there's more more of those things that we don't really know that we can't measure, that we can't feel like we are in control of it all. And lichen is these two—more actually, it's not just an algae and cyanobacteria, or Sienna bacteria and fungus that get together it there's more organisms that are involved that come together, and are transformed completely and can't go back to what they were. And they formed this new organism that acts completely differently. And we're not so different from that, that our own bodies are full of other organisms, and even our DNA contains DNA of parasites that long ago became incorporated into our system. So lichen gives us a way of thinking about the mutualities that our lives are really made of.John FiegeYeah, and this poem, "Forest," is part of that collection, Twice Alive, where you have "Post-Fire Forest" and other poems related to wildfire and the aftermath of them, and that collection follows on the heels of your previous collection, Be With, which, you know this moving series of eulogistic poems to your late wife. It seems that Be With wrestles with and processes personal grief, while "Twice Alive" adds the element of ecological trauma. How are those two realms of trauma-related phenomena—the personal and the ecological? And how do they play out in the poem?Forrest GanderThe poems of "Be With”… they are so personally painful to me, I couldn't even read from the book after I published it. I think I read twice and then stopped reading from it. And one, as Albert Camus says, you can't live on in a grief or depression that's so terrible that it doesn't leave you with any openings. And so I wanted to find positive things to write about. But we're living during an ecological crisis. So I'm, and I've been writing about that crisis through really most of my adult life. But I wanted to find positive ways of reimagining our relationship with the world and maybe with death also. Because in lichen, and in the metaphor of like, and work, to two or more things come together and are transformed. I thought of human intimacy and the way that my relationship, my close relationships, I'm transformed in those relationships, I become something else. And that thing, which is welded in love, has a durability, and lasts. And in the same way, scientists—some scientists are saying that our whole idea of death comes out of our mammalian orientation. And that may be because some things don't die, and have theoretical immortality, and lichen, given enough nutrients, may be one of those things.John FiegeThat's amazing. How does it make you feel to think about the possibility that there's something that actually has some kind of immortality?Forrest GanderHow does it make us feel? I think it checks what we have always thought we've known. And it checks our instinctual perspective. And that kind of check, I think, is really helpful in terms of how we begin to reimagine our place in a world of other species that are completely different from us, and yet, share so much DNA.John FiegeCan you tell me about the Sangam literary traditions that you've referenced as an important element of your recent work in Eco-poetry?Forrest GanderSure! What brought me to Sangam was looking for other models of relationships between the human and the nonhuman. And it turns out that, you know, 2000 years ago, in Southern India, there was a blossoming of literature, which came to be called Sangam, which means convergence, and that one of the two styles of that poetry, which is called Akam, it was considered not only unethical but impossible to write about human emotions, as though they were independent of the landscape around us, which affects our perceptions. And, it impacts how and what we feel. And so, using that model for poems and finding that the same five landscapes that come up in the Sangam poems are the same five landscapes that one can find in California, where I live, I used those Sangam poems as a kind of model for writing poems that expressed that mutuality of, of the human and the nonhuman in the five landscapes of California in my home.John Fiegeisn't that so satisfying on so many levels to be able to look so far back in history? And to see people encountering the world in ways that are so resonant with the ways you are, we are encountering the world today in a completely different part of the planet, even? It's kind of amazing.Forrest GanderIt is! And yeah, I think it's what we will find everywhere that, you know, the Native Americans in what we now called the United States. They didn't think that these European invaders would last very long because the European invaders hadn't lived for thousands of years, with animals and plants of this continent. And so they thought we would fail. And we have failed, we've failed to live in a way that takes into account our interdependence with the nonhuman world.John FiegeWell, jumping back into the poem, your word choices and juxtapositions and the sounds, and the rhythms of the words in the poem are so powerful. Here's a section that begins at the end of a stanza and carries on to the next, "a force call it nighttime thrusts mushrooms up from their lair." I like this idea of nighttime as a force that has the power to push things up out of the earth. And nighttime is when we rest, but also maybe when we have sex, or maybe when we don't have sex often enough. But how is nighttime of force for you?Forrest GanderBecause there are so many processes, especially plant processes, that take place after the sun goes down. And that often, we're not thinking about night being a reenergizing process for other species. And also, I'm connecting nighttime, and that darkness with the half-buried to the things that go on in the dark, the things that go on underground.John FiegeRight! Well, here's another section I'd like to dig into. If you don't mind me reading, I feel bad reading your poem as you read it so beautifully, but just to go through it again. Like memories, are they or punctuation? Was it something the earth said to provoke a response, tasking us to recall an evolutionary course, our long-ago initiation into the one among others? So in this section of the poem, you shift from third person into first person plural, and we don't exactly know what the 'we' or the 'us' is, but I'm imagining it to be our species collectively speaking with the earth here. I personified a personified Earth. And each of us is merely one among others, one person among other people, but also humans are just one among many other species on the earth. So what's going on here, with the earth being provocative, the shift to first person plural, and to us thinking about our evolutionary course?Forrest GanderSo I'm thinking of mushrooms as kind of exclamation marks that come up and call our attention to the nonhuman, and also how memories are like that, that they pop up from the darkness of our mind into our conscious mind. And that, what they remind us of, what any contact with a nonhuman reminds us of, is our involvement with them; our long ago initiated course as an interdependent species, as a community in a community, that we are one among many others, as you say, and that if we forget that, then we don't take care of the earth because we don't recognize that it's part of taking care of ourselves. And for many human communities and cultures earlier, this was de rigueur, it was understood that, that we were involved. Our lives were educations in how to live with the world around us. But we've become so separated from that in our urban cultures that we need reminding.John FiegeRight, right. Well, and that reminds me of another section of the poem, we have this phrase "newborn noticing." So the stanza it's in is, "and within my newborn noticing, have you popped up beside me, my love? Or were you here from the start?" And I love this idea of newborn noticing it suggests that we're noticing a new, but also noticing, as a newborn does, like Lao says—‘newborn baby, unbiased, undistracted, nonjudgmental.' And this section feels like it touches on our deeply ingrained, anthropocentrism and ignorance of other species, and maybe how poetry can help us notice the world around us more fully, especially the other-than-human world. What is this 'newborn noticing' to you?Forrest GanderRight, I'm so glad you bring up Lao Tzu, also. Lao Tzu says, "Those who are not in constant awe; surely some great tragedy will befall them." And hear the 'newborn noticing,' again, that earlier passage you mentioned, that connects the punctuation to coming out of the ground of the mushrooms, to memories that come out of the darkness of our mind into our conscious mind. That's also the birth of something.John FiegeSo here's... oh, go ahead.Forrest GanderI just like that you've been, I mean, some people ask, you know, what can we do in this environmental crisis, and one of the things we can do is to try to have a chorus of not just scientists and biologists, but a chorus of artists and priests, and poets. And that's what you've been doing: putting together that chorus of responses to our crisis. And I think it's going to take the voices of a lot of people from a lot of different trajectories, to affect any kind of change. So I'm proud of what you're doing.John FiegeYeah, I totally agree. And I'm glad you notice and appreciate that (chuckles). You know, one thing I say all the time is, you know, our environmental discourse is dominated by science, economics, and policy. And those three things are all extremely important, and we have to keep on top of all of them. But it's leaving out the whole rest of the human experience. And if we are not all focused on this problem, and dealing with it in the ways that we know how, and the ways that we know how to interact with the world, we just... we can't get there because the problem is... it's so overwhelming as it is to leave it up to a small portion of the population to address is not sufficient,Forrest GanderRight? Or it would have changed already. And I think what art and poetry and literature can do is add a kind of an emotional and psychological approach to it, that can add it to the science, and can be more convincing,John FiegeRight? And not even just like, a way to convince people, but just a way to, to understand and feel the problem is so much beyond, you know, just a reason-based problem that you can solve or not, you know, but that it's part of who you are and what you value in the world and what you know, get you up out of bed every morning.Forrest GanderThat's beautifully put. Yeah, I agree with you.John FiegeWell, here here's another line I love from the poem, "A swarm of meaning and decay." And this goes back to that cyclical view of life and death; birth and decomposition. And it also brings in this concept of meaning—this thing that humans are obsessed with. Our perpetual question of why—what is the meaning of life? And so much of the foundation of our understanding of meaning is bound up in the perpetuation of life. And oftentimes, in the avoidance of death, despite the need for death to bring life. Can you talk more about this "swarm of meaning and decay?"Forrest GanderSo the "swarm of meaning and decay" comes just a moment after my "newborn noticing." And here, the poem merges the human—we don't really know for sure whether I'm talking about human beings, or I'm talking about other forms of life that are emerging from the underworld, like fungus, for instance. And in that merging of subjectivity and world, I'm trying to emphasize how the human life and the processes of the life—lives that aren't human—are completely related to each other. It's interesting to me that the kind of poetry that I write is sometimes categorized as eco-poetry, the idea of Eco-poetry is that there might be a way of writing in which human subjectivity and the non-human aren't so discrete from each other and that we might be able to show in writing, a different way of experiencing, or really, the real way of experiencing our relationships with otherness, which is that our subjectivities merge into otherness. That we're made of multiple creatures and were made by multiple interactions with the world. And I think that's what art has always done, is that it's expanded our way of thinking of the human.John FiegeDefinitely, definitely. Well, let me jump into the last two stanzas in the poem, which read, "And abundance floods us floats us out, we fill each with the other all morning breaks as songbird over us who rise to the surface, so our faces might be strong." And again, there's so much richness in this language. But to start off with, how does abundance, both flood us and float us?Forrest GanderWell, our lives are abundant; the world is abundant. And that sense of merging with another in intimacy, in love, and merging with the world is a sense of expanding. This, you know, the notion of the self, and that's an abundance, it's recognizing our collaborative relationship with otherness. And it floats us out of ourselves so that we're not locked into our own minds, our own singular psyches, we fill with each other. And then again, here, the syntax is working in two ways. We fill with each other, we fill with the other "all morning". And then we revise that as we, as we make that break. We fill with the other "all morning breaks as birdsong over us." And I'm thinking here about how human beings, Homo sapiens, from the start, almost all of human beings have experienced birdsong since we were born, since early in our lives. We've grown up with the songs of birds infused in our minds, in our hearing. And how much of a part of us birdsong is. We're rising to the surface like the mushrooms coming from underground to blossom so that our faces might be sprung. And here again, the human and the nonhuman? Am I talking about mushrooms here? Or am I talking about human beings? I'm purposely talking about both in a way that is perhaps indistinguishable.John FiegeAnd as you mentioned, the poem starts with the imagery of the mushrooms thrusting upward. And then, at the end here, it seems that the we in the poem rises to the surface. And the last line of the poem is, so our faces might be sprung. This sense of emergence comes to that most intimate thing—our faces—and this vague 'we' suddenly has a face. And we are like flowers or emergent mushrooms in the nighttime. Where does this poem leave you? And how do you think about where you'd like to leave the reader at the end?Forrest GanderI think in that uncertainty about where the human and where the non-human begins, I think that's the strategy of the poems, which is presenting not some romantic notion of our involvement with others, but I think a form of realism, it's recognizing that our involvement with otherness is entire, that were composed of otherness. So I think the feeling of what a mushroom is, is just the face, it's this little—fruited body, they call it—of an organism that's underground that we don't see at all. And, in a way, that's what our lives are also: this brief flourishing of the face of something that's connected to a body that's much larger than ours. And that ambiguous space is what I'm interested in, in thinking about.John FiegeAnd does that noticing or that knowledge calls us to do something? In particular, do you think?Forrest Gander  32:43Well, I don't want to turn the poem into a didacticism. But the poem presents a vision. And that vision can contribute to the way that we see ourselves in the world. And the way we see ourselves in the world forces us to make ethical decisions about how we are and what we do. So in, I want to provide a vision or share a vision. And I want readers to do with it what they feel called upon to do. There have been different ways that we've understood our relationship and our role in a living Earth, through time and in different cultures. And the worldview that we have now, which is using the Earth very transactional, can be changed. And that art can inspire us to imagine those kinds of changes. In some ways, we're like the yeast that gets put with grapes to make wine. The yeast, which is a fungus, eats the sugar, and it secretes basically alcohol. That's what where we get alcohol from, and it proliferates and proliferates, and keeps producing alcohol until at about 13%. The yeast kills itself it dies because it can't live with an alcohol content greater than that. And we're like that yeast on this earth. We're using up all of the resources, and we're proliferating, and pretty soon, there's not going to be room for us to live on the world will pollute ourselves out of existence, and the world will go on. It's just that we won't be part of it.John FiegeThat's a beautiful place to end; with yeast, and lichen, and erogenous zones. All swirling around together. Can you end by reading the poem once again?Forrest GanderSure. So, 'forest' is one of the five major landscapes that appear in the Sangam poems.[See poem as transcribed above]John FiegeForrest, thank you so much.

Alan Roxburgh and Jenny Sinclair talk with Sally Mann about her life in community in the East End of London in the UK, where her family has lived for six generations. Sally tells the story of Bonny Downs Baptist Church where she is one of the pastoral team of five, all of whom are co-vocational. The team shares a single stipend, a model that came out of shared living – what she describes as “lived hospitality.”  Sally describes her love for her community and the transformative work Bonny Downs is doing in a place that many consider a slum. Rather than having “a five year plan”, they find that by listening to God and their neighbours, their abandoned places are being restored for the sake of the common good. Sally says her thinking shifted when she began to take seriously that Jesus is from Nazareth, a poor hillside village, and this has opened up a way of living a life of true freedom.Dr Sally Mann is a minister at Bonny Downs Baptist Church where she is the fourth of six generations of her family to serve in their East End London community. Also an author and community activist, Sally lectures in Sociology and has a PhD in Philosophy and Theology. She is actively involved in Red Letter Christians, and is one of the original team who launched it in the UK. She has published Looking for Lydia: encounters that shape the church, reflecting on 25 years of ministry in London through the stories of encounters in Acts. For Alan J Roxburgh:http://alanroxburgh.com/abouthttps://www.themissionalnetwork.com/author/alan-roxburgh/https://journalofmissionalpractice.com/alan-roxburghTwitter: https://twitter.com/alanjroxburgh?lang=enFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/alan.roxburgh.127/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thecommonsnetworkJoining God in the Great Unraveling https://www.amazon.ca/Joining-God-Great-Unraveling-Learned/dp/1725288508/ref=sr_1_Leadership, God's Agency and Disruptions https://www.amazon.ca/Leadership-Gods-Agency-Disruptions-Confronting/dp/1725271745/refJoining God, Remaking Church, Changing the World: The New Shape of the Church in Our Time https://www.amazon.ca/Joining-Remaking-Church-Changing-World/dp/0819232114/ref=sr_1_3?crid=2NHGW8KB7L0SQ&keywords=Alan+J+Roxburgh&qid=1687098960&s=books&sprefix=alan+j+roxburgh%2Cstripbooks%2C130&sr=1-3For Jenny Sinclair:Website: https://togetherforthecommongood.co.uk/from-jenny-sinclairLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jenny-sinclair-0589783b/Twitter: https://twitter.com/T4CGFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/TogetherForTheCommonGoodUKInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/t4cg_insta/For Sally Mann:Bonny Downs Baptist Church: https://www.bonnydownschurch.org/Bonny Downs Community Association: https://bonnydowns.org/Staying Put - an essay for Together for the Common Good https://togetherforthecommongood.co.uk/leading-thinkers/staying-putRed Letter Christians UK: https://redletterchristians.org.uk/author/dr-sally-mann/Looking for Lydia: Encounters that shape the Church https://www.amazon.co.uk/Looking-Lydia-Encounters-shape-Church/dp/1790341183/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&dib_tag=se&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.Gj8uvv2HoolUYiuTfCrohw.WEzPBvVvt5tpcLYWrJcJbF6pMHH3TTgwcjNHfYQioTo&qid=1712777949&sr=8-1 Get full access to Leaving Egypt at leavingegyptpodcast.substack.com/subscribe

In episode 304 UNP founder and curator Grant Scott is in his shed speaking with master printer Bob Tursack about all aspects of photographic printing including photo books, fine art printing, digital, analogue and lithographic. They also discuss photographer expectations, good practice and the photographer/printer relationship. Bob Tursack, is the CEO of the high-end printing company Brilliant Graphics. He is a third-generation printer who grew up in the Philadelphia suburbs who became interested in photography when he was in junior high. He had his first darkroom in sixth grade and attended the Ansel Adams workshops in Carmel, the Maine Photography Workshops, and other photography courses. Tursack's father founded Tursack Printing, commercial printers, in 1959, and Bob began training on the small press as a teenager. But his real passion was for fine art prints, and he ultimately sold the company in 1998. Tursack started Brilliant Studio in 2000, in his basement, planning to make prints for artists and photographers as a one-man band. But the business quickly grew, and he soon founded Brilliant Graphics, to produce brochures, catalogues, posters, and books. The company now has 72 employees. Tusack has worked with photographers including Sally Mann, Ralph Gibson, George Tice, Steve McCurry, Emmett Gowin, Mark Seliger and institutions including The National Gallery, Washington, DC, Metropolitan Museum of Art, NYC, The Hermitage Museum, Princeton University Art Museum, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, University of Pennsylvania Press, Yale University Press, and The Andy Warhol Foundation. https://brilliant-graphics.com Dr.Grant Scott After fifteen years art directing photography books and magazines such as Elle and Tatler, Scott began to work as a photographer for a number of advertising and editorial clients in 2000.

Sally Mann: La fotógrafa que desafió los tabúes con sus íntimas imágenes familiares Adéntrate en el fascinante mundo de Sally Mann, una fotógrafa estadounidense que revolucionó el arte fotográfico con sus íntimas y crudas imágenes de sus propios hijos. Sus fotografías, capturadas en el entorno rural de Virginia, exploran temas universales como la inocencia, la vulnerabilidad, el despertar sexual y la naturaleza compleja de la infancia. A través de su lente, Mann nos invita a reflexionar sobre la belleza, la vulnerabilidad y la complejidad de la niñez. Sus fotografías, a menudo en blanco y negro y con un estilo clásico, nos transportan a un mundo donde la inocencia y la sensualidad se entrelazan, desafiando las convenciones sociales y artísticas de la época. La obra de Sally Mann ha sido aclamada por la crítica y ha generado controversia a partes iguales. Sus fotografías han sido calificadas como perturbadoras, pero también como profundamente honestas y reveladoras. Mann no se ha amedrentado por las críticas y ha seguido explorando los límites de la fotografía, capturando la esencia de la infancia con una honestidad cruda y desgarradora. #SallyMann #fotografiafamiliar #infancia #inocencia #vulnerabilidad #despertaresxual #naturalezahumana #bellezainperfecta #artefotografico #controversias #legadoartistico --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/john-vargas-foto/message

The London-based artist, master potter, and author Edmund de Waal has an astoundingly astute sense for the inner lives of objects. Each of his works, whether in clay or stone, is imbued with a certain alchemy, embodying traces of far-away or long-ago ancestors, ideas, and histories. This fall, two exhibitions featuring his artworks are on view at Gagosian in New York (through October 28): “to light, and then return,” which pairs his pieces with tintypes and platinum prints by Sally Mann, and “this must be the place,” a solo presentation displaying his porcelain vessels poetically arranged in vitrines, as well as stone benches carved from marble. As respected for his writing as he is for his pots, de Waal is the author of 20th Century Ceramics (2003), The Pot Book (2011), The White Road (2015), Letters to Camondo (2021), and, perhaps most notably, the New York Times bestseller The Hare with Amber Eyes (2010). All that de Waal does is part of one long continuum: He views his pots and texts as a single, rigorously sculpted body of work and ongoing conversation across time.On this episode, de Waal talks about his infatuation with Japan, his affinity for the life and work of the Japanese-American artist Isamu Noguchi (1904-1988), and the roles of rhythm and breath in his work.Special thanks to our Season 8 sponsor, Van Cleef & Arpels.Show notes: [00:28] Edmund de Waal[03:43] Paul Celan[08:12] 2023 Isamu Noguchi Award[08:17] Gagosian[08:20] “this must be the place” [08:22] “to light, and then return”[09:09] Twentieth-Century Ceramics[09:20] The Pot Book[18:23] “Letters to Camondo” Exhibition[20:32] Sally Mann[20:48] The Hare with Amber Eyes[28:00] “The Hare with Amber Eyes” Exhibition[30:56] “Playing with Fire: Edmund de Waal and Axel Salto” Exhibition[40:24] Dr. Sen no Sōshitsu[52:48] The White Road[52:49] Letters to Camondo[01:06:33] In Memory Of: Designing Contemporary Memorials

Sally Mann has lived on the same road in East Ham that her family have lived on since the 1800s. She and Dave have worked and played with their neighbours to form all kinds of shared spaces for common life: community halls, gardens, sports fields and more. This is a story about faith shaped more by encounters with people and place than by institutions and dogma. After the interview David Blower and Joy Brooks reflect on their own experiences of place and encounter with others. They consider the impact of power and politics on how they experience connection, community and spirituality.

Happy Woo Wednesdays!Rachel is my favorite family photographer and does long form family shoots meaning she's with the family ALL Day. I love the way she loves herself, her family, her clients, and her body.www.rachellarsenweaver.com/linksRachel Larsen Weaver is an artist-educator and film photographer in Maryland on the shore of the Chesapeake Bay. She is a mother to five who travels the country creating art with families and she mentors photographers who are interested in building businesses that are rooted in their creative longings.Today's Hot TopicLet's talk newsletters! Rachel talks about why you should start one, how to do it, and ways to grow your list.1. choose a format and schedule that feels exciting and not overwhelming2. stories sell- so determine what stories you want to tell3. repurpose. repurpose. repurpose.Favorite sales technique: How do you get a HECK YES from your dream clients?This one is kind of hard for me. I have often remarked that I feel confident when it comes to marketing but less so in sales. For me the heck yes really is about the client feeling deeply connected to me and the offer. When I love the things that I am creating- I think that my joy and enthusiasm is contagious. When my offers are not actually aligned with my deepest desires- they don't have that same magnetic energy.What is your Woo Factor? The Woo Factor is how you stand out from the crowd. What makes you unique?I think its two fold: one is that my work is really about honoring the art of the offer. I talk a lot about studying the artists I admire, exploring the tradition photography. I want to make a William Eggleston photo at your wedding. I want to create a Sally Mann when I'm photographing your family. That would seem really snobby though and possibly intimidating and not the easiest sell. So I couple that with really genuine relationship building. One of the things that I love to do is to respond to dm's with voice messages- A) I find it so much easier to respond in a thoughtful way quickly when I can talk and have my hands free (I have five kids remember) B) I hope it feels sort of personal.Connect with Rachelhttps://www.rachellarsenweaver.com/instagram.com/rachel.larsen.weaverConnect with Carissahttps://www.instagram.com/carissawoo/https://heckyesmedia.co/

Acclaimed fiction writer Ann Beattie joins co-hosts V.V. Ganeshananthan and Whitney Terrell to discuss her recent LitHub essay about Donald Barthelme's short story “The Balloon” and the Chinese spy balloon. She also talks about her recently published first collection of essays, More to Say: Essays and Appreciations, in which she writes about the work of authors, photographers, and artists she admires, including Elmore Leonard, Sally Mann, John Loengard, and her own husband, visual artist Lincoln Perry. Beattie explains why as a nonfiction writer, she prefers close looking and reading; considers defamiliarization in the hands of Barthelme and Alice Munro; analyzes former visual artist John Updike's depiction of the natural world; and reflects on developing increased comfort with writing about visual art. She also reads excerpts from both her LitHub piece and the essay collection.

The photographer Sally Mann has said that it never occurred to her to look outside of her home, family, and immediate vicinity to find inspiration. So many artists feel they need to travel to exotic locations to find their inspiration, never exploring what is right in front of them or what they encounter in their daily lives. In this episode of The Art Biz I talk with Sara Lee Hughes, an artist who is deep into a body of narrative paintings with recognizable imagery that is steeped in her personal story—going so far as to include her self-portraits in many of them. We talk about making such personal work and whether there is a market for such work. Sara Lee says her ultimate intention is that she gets under your skin. That when viewing her paintings, you start to question your actions and might find yourself reflecting on the encounter weeks later. We discuss the genesis of this body of work, how she is looking at her art in terms of the long game rather than seeking quick gratification, how she keeps her ideas, and how she has created a discipline that balances motherhood with her studio practice. Highlights Waiting, Father Daughter Dance, and other pieces inspired by Sara Lee's life. (1:55) The family letters that have helped Sara Lee navigate her true self. (6:57) Sara Lee's 12-ft superhero cape and what it represents. (9:05) Painting from experiences results in sincerity. (11:15) Asking yourself questions can lead to your next inspiration. (14:55) Sara Lee's decision to use her own face in her paintings. (18:19) The value of painting the part of your history that isn't talked about. (21:32) There are parts of your story that anyone can relate to. (25:17) Using a list—rather than a sketchbook—to keep your ideas. (27:04) Does personal work sell? (30:20) The evolution of Sara Lee's approach to her art business. (32:39) Finding time for the most important work. (34:32) Mentioned Saraleehughes.com Sara Lee on Instagram Sally Mann Moleskine Cahier notebook Episode 72 with Dawn Williams Boyd William Kentridge Bo Bartlett The Art Biz Connection Systematize Your Art Biz for Business Efficiency Resources Show notes, images, and listener comments How to Price Your Art free report Art Biz Connection artist membership Quotes “These tossed-off sketches are seeds for the work that I've done in the last five years.” — Sara Lee “When I paint from my own experience, there's a sincerity in my paintings.” — Sara Lee “All of my work is my personal experience, so who better to use than myself? — Sara Lee “My intention is to resonate with you through the works that have inspired me to be an artist.” — Sara Lee About My Guest Sara Lee is a narrative painter living and working in Lockhart, Texas. Her representational narratives are influenced by growing up in the south during the 1970's and 80's with divorced parents and operate as metaphors for discovery, other-ness, identity, connection, balance and truth. As a body of work, they highlight moments, memories and ideas that mark a journey of navigation through the differences between her gay father, straight mother and the socio-cultural norms of the era and those proceeding. In her work she is most interested in exploring and sharing the connection she had with her father before his death of AIDS, the profound guidance it had on her life, and how this personal experience fits into our country's broader social and cultural heritage.   Sara Lee studied classical drawing and painting at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, where she earned a certificate in painting and printmaking. She earned her MFA in painting from Pratt Institute. Sustaining herself through scenic painting and teaching, her work brought her back to Lockhart, Texas where she has lived since 2008.

The other day, a friend of mine texted me a link to a podcast, along with a single sentence that read, “If I could be a small fraction of the photographer Sally Mann is, it would really be something.” Now, this friend is a terrific photographer but, like so many of us, he sometimes gets stuck in the rut of comparison. I get it. I really do. Sally Mann is an iconic photographer, but one of the most challenging—and I think harmful—things we can do to ourselves as artists is to unreasonably compare ourselves and our work to others.Question:Do you compare yourself or your work to others?

In this episode, Sean talks about a recent trip to London where he may have had his most productive day of photography ever, which is a pretty bold statement. We also talk about the importance of inspirational friends as well as our shared appreciation for the work of Richard Avedon, Don McCullin, and Sally Mann. CONNECT WITH SEANWebsite: http://seantucker.photographyTwitter: @seantuckInstagram: @seantuckYouTube: Sean Tucker CONNECT WITH JEFFERYWebsite: https://jefferysaddoris.comTwitter: @jefferysaddorisInstagram: @jefferysaddoris BE A PART OF THE SHOWYou can listen to Deep Natter live and be a part of the conversations on Tuesdays at 2pm ET on Clubhouse. SUBSCRIBESubscribe to Jeffery Saddoris: Everything in your favorite podcast app to get every show I release in one feed. MUSICHigh Line by DuffmusiqMusic featured in this episode is licensed from Artlist, which is a terrific music licensing platform for YouTubers and filmmakers.

There's something about wet plate photography that I can't get out of my head. Maybe it's the process, maybe it's the unpredictable nature of it - Sally Mann calls it “the angel of uncertainty.” Or maybe it's the permanence of the objects themselves. When you look at an image by Matthew Brady or Timothy O'Sullivan, for a moment you're no longer part of the present. And I would argue that that sense of timelessness is one of the reasons a handful of modern photographers still choose to embrace the 170-year-old process.In 2018 there was a Sally Mann show at the National Gallery called A Thousand Crossings. It is by far my favorite show I've ever seen since I've been in DC and, in fact, I went back to see it about a half-dozen times. While I love her entire body of work, it was the wet plate work—both plates and prints—that I found myself gravitating to the most. Far from the pristine edge-to-edge sharpness of modern photos, they exude life, inexorably binding them to the maker.A couple weeks ago, I got an email form Shane Balkowitsch, a wet plate photographer from Bismarck, North Dakota who began shooting wet plate after seeing a plate of a motorcycle. Something about it refused to let go and he reached out to the photographer to ask about the image and the process behind it. 45 days later, he made his first wet plate—an image of his brother. That was 2012. Today, more than 3500 plates later, Shane's work is in collections including the State Historical Society of North Dakota and the National Portrait Gallery. His ongoing project photographing Native Americans and helping to preserve their culture has earned him the name “Shadow Catcher.” LINKSNorthern Plains Native Americans: A Modern Wet Plate Perspective* - https://amzn.to/31SEIvUBalkowitsch (Documentary)* - https://amzn.to/3gBAOvxState Historical Society of North Dakota - https://www.history.nd.gov/archives/manuscripts/inventory/2014-P-025.htmlSally Mann: A Thousand Crossings - https://www.nga.gov/exhibitions/2018/sally-mann-a-thousand-crossings.html CONNECT WITH SHANEWebsite: http://sharoncol.balkowitsch.com/wetplate.htmInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/balkowitschFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/balkowitsch MUSICPlease Listen Carefully (Jahzzar) / CC BY-SA 4.0
