Sally Mann

A well educated image maker whose most controversial work has been her children in the series Immediate Family, Sally Mann's career has spanned decades. Each series has appealed to my senses, whether they are maternal, sensual, or emotional, she manages to relate whatever is of importance to her in a profound series representing her life and values, and her personal investigation. Here, her three children pose in a defiant yet innocent clanish stance. They have always had a rather etheral appeal, with Virginia her youngest almost angelic and Emmet her son, like a soldier guarding the gates of heaven, perfect in his stoic repose.
