"...I struggle with enormous discrepancies: between the reality of
motherhood and the image of it, between my love for my home and the need to
travel, between the varied and seductive paths of the heart. The lessons of
impermanence,
the occasional despair and the muse, so tenuously moored, all visit their
needs upon me and I dig deeply for the spiritual utilities that restore me:
my love for the place, for the one man left, for my children and friends
and the great green pulse of spring."
Sally Mann in "Still Time", Alleghany Highlands Arts and Crafts Center, 1988
"Uno sguardo piy approfondito rivela un senso di pericolo imminente che
aleggia attraverso tutta l'opera fotografica di Sally Mann, incuneata fra
il desiderio costante del bambino di cercare o inventare fantastiche
avventure e la visione dell'eminenza assoluta ed alle volte virulenta di
una natura capace in qualsiasi momento di aggredire l'intruso."
David Crosby in "Zoom Magazine" #141, Milano 1996
"From 1984-1991 Mann turned her camera's eye toward children and the family
with the primary interest focused on children and their relationships. In
the series, At Twelve , Mann's consummate skill preserved young adolescents
in the uncertain time between childhood and adulthood. Confusion, longing,
and fear gaze out from the purity of youth. In their dreams and role playing
the children are tainted by the grittyness of a messy adult world and yet
mercurial spirits allow them to temporarily free themselves from the bonds
of impending adulthood."
