It feels important to start to make work that is witnessing something. It’s going to bring that emotion or feel relatable to other people.
I love Mary Manning. We met in the spring of 2017, introduced by friends. We were in New York, a city that has been Mary’s home for 12 years now. She was born in Alton, a city on the Mississippi in Illinois. That spring of 2017, I was visiting NY with the man who would become my husband. Rich and I had only met five weeks before. A year later, we married at City Hall in New York. The witness at our wedding was Mary.
Mary was in London this spring, so we sat down to talk. As I was preparing for the conversation, I realised that the obvious questions were all the wrong questions. Photography is dominated by patriarchy. To ask obvious questions about photography is to accept this patriarchal status quo. Mary’s work is all about showing how life should be when patriarchy finally collapses. And so there are no questions. I love to do interviews where there are no questions. That is how we begin.
Totally. This something “other” I guess is what I finally got comfortable with. When I started to have exhibitions in New York, that was such a shift in my perception. I stopped trying to think about how I thought photography had to be and just started being. You have this eye, this is your work, and then actually that is photography. It doesn’t have to be about a technical set up. I just had this real strange panic that what I was doing wasn’t photography somehow.
