Tierney Gearon: The Mother Project
NEW DOCS
A layered and lyrical look at photographer Tierney Gearon, the dynamics of family, and the creation of her latest body of work. The accidental art star, former model, and fashion photographer received critical acclaim and intense criticism from the British press in 2001, for highly personal photographs including her children in psychologically complex provocative tableaux. The filmmakers spent four years with the artist, who approaches her mother’s mental illness with a mix of humor, compassion, and recklessness. KH
