I am honored to say that Blood Line is now collected by the MoMA Art Library. I am deeply grateful to my publisher, Kris Graves Projects.
Today is one of those days where I wish my dad could have known.

SO thrilled to be this week’s Musee Magazine Woman Crush Wednesday! Happy dance all around, and interview by Hoon Jeon.

I had the honor of being invited by Aline Smithson to curate a selection of 5 artists for Dutch week on Lenscratch. It was such a privilege to write and/or interview these talented photographers – follow the links to discover each of them.

A big thank you to Hannah Frieser of the fabulous Center for Photography at Woodstock for having featured Blood Line images during her instagram take-over of the fabulous-as-well German FotoMAGAZIN.

She wrote „Ich mag das etwas verspielte Element, das in Anne-Laure Autins Projekt verwoben ist. Es macht die Trauer, die mit dem Verlust eines Elternteils bzw. des Großvaters einher geht, ein wenig erträglicher und hilft, damit umzugehen. Die hier mit chirurgischem Nahtmaterial von Hand eingestickten Details bringen die Fotografin noch stärker in dieses Projekt ein. Sie ist die Tochter, die gerade einen Elternteil verliert. Sie ist die Mutter, die nicht in der Lage ist, ihre Kinder vor der Brutalität der tiefen Trauer zu schützen.“

which google-translates into “I like the slightly playful element that is woven into Anne-Laure Autin’s project. It makes the grief associated with the loss of a parent or grandfather a little more bearable and helps to deal with it. The details stitched with surgical sutures by hand bring the photographer even closer to this project. She is the daughter who is losing a parent. She is the mother who is unable to protect her children from the brutality of deep mourning. ”

A huge thank you to Mia Dalglish from Pictura Gallery for this thoughtful write-up about Blood Line on the CURIOUS Photo-blog. Click the link to read the whole feature.
