Sally Mann - Profile

A true Southern artist, Sally Mann has steeped herself in the history of the South, continually searching to capture the spirit of time and place. As a Southerner she states, "Our history of defeat and loss set us apart from other Americans and because of it, we embrace the Proustian concept that the only true paradise is a lost paradise. But we know that love emerges from this loss, becomes memory and that memory becomes art." Sally Mann was born in Lexington, Virginia in 1951. Gagosian Gallery shows large-format photographs by Sally Mann. Executed between 2000 and 2004, these works consist of images of the faces of her three children Emmett, Jessie, and Virginia. Selected works from her "Battlefields" series are on view as well. These powerful images of Mann's children are simultaneously painterly and photographic. They are made from wet-plate collodion negatives, produced by coating a sheet of glass with ether-based collodion and submerging it in silver nitrate. The resulting light sensitive plate, loaded into a plate holder and attached to the camera, must be exposed while still wet, a period of approximately 6 minutes. The photographers who originally used this method, which was introduced in 1851, worked to perfect the process and avoid irregularities. Sally Mann, however, embraces these aberrations; she celebrates the peculiar flares, stains and dust trails unique to the collodion process. (Gagosian Gallery)
