...I would have described my work almost exactly how one of my favorite photographers, Julie Blackmon, describes hers:“I believe there are moments that can be found throughout any given day that bring sanctuary. It is in finding these moments amidst the stress of the everyday that my life as a mother parallels my work as an artist, and where the dynamics of family life throughout time seem remarkably unchanged. As an artist and as a mother, I believe life’s most poignant moments come from the ability to fuse fantasy and reality: to see the mythic amidst the chaos.” Although our work is very, very different and I am no where near being her peer, I think her words are an amazingly accurate description about how I feel about my process as a photographer. If you are not familiar with her work, you should definitely check her out.
