This is a wonderful original piece. I have been buying more and more photography as time goes on. I think it is an area where collecting is really starting to grow as the work by contemporary artist's gets better and better. This is one of the favorite I have bought. For those not familiar with the photographer I have included her biography below. This is one of my favorite's from the series she did in 2000 title home as found. Simply titled, mother, it is such a wonderful view of a young boy holding onto his pregnant mother's leg. It really speaks both to mother as the object of admiration of the son as well as mother, the person she is and what life is like as a mother. Just an outstanding image. A large photograph measuring 14 x 14 inches. Outstanding as printed condition. Archival matted and framed and really a great presentation. On the back of the frame there is pencil notations of the title, as well as the year and the numbering 4/25. I assume these are the notations that are on the back of the photograph. Frame measures about 21 x 21 inches.
For those not familiar with the artist her biography reads: "originally from lowell, ma, marla sweeney has returned there during recent summers to photograph for her series, salisbury. Her subjects are people “as [she] find[s] them” on the beaches and scenes of amusement parks of her childhood. The results are quietly powerful—intimate inroads to the private person on a public stage. Sweeney’s work shows full awareness of her position as photographer, and she operates on the belief that you see yourself “most clearly when you see yourself as a stranger.” Her portraits appear to make no judgments, but open a corridor through her lens for a brief yet significantly personal exchange between her and people she had not met before asking permission to photograph them. The result is a picture of a people within a culture seeming both ordinary and splendorous, revealing a depth of dignity and respect for people and memories as we imagine them and as we find them. Sweeney will spend her month at light work printing from this series in preparation for an exhibition this fall at the griffin museum of photography in winchester, ma. Her work has been exhibited and published widely. Most recently she has exhibited at galleri image in denmark, and her work is included in several permanent collections, including the museum of fine arts, houston; musee da la photographie, charleroi, belgium; museu da imagem, braga, portugal; and the harry ransom center collection, university of texas, austin. Marla holds an mfa in photography from the state university of new york at new paltz."
