Tierney Gearon’s most recent work, The Mother Project, is the culmination of a series spanning more than eight years. The artist continues to photograph her family, but now concentrates on her mother, who lives alone in a small town in upstate New York. The exhibition will include twenty-five 20” x 24” photographs set mainly in and around her mother’s home. The images depict psychologically intense, often bizarre scenarios, some of which occur naturally and some of which are facilitated or encouraged by the artist. Many images include Gearon herself or one or more of the artist’s children.

The subject of The Mother Project is the interaction between the artist, her mother and her own children. The photographs are personal studies of her family, yet raise larger issues of aging, mental illness, and the complicated dynamic of the mother-child relationship.
