Sparrow Lane
Holly Andres seems to mostly use children to explain her ideas. I don't where she finds her sets, but the photographs from these two series have such imaginative temper, made more accessible by the so simply attractive faces of her subjects. The Sparrow Lane series could have had a more dynamic narrative...
This Stage of Motherhood
Gail Albert Halaban photographed communities of mothers, well off and flowering with children's things. It was difficult to see these as more than satirical at first, but as the series goes on, there is a sadness there. There's a subtle sense of loss I feel lies here, whether of youth or freedom, hidden by little feet, hands, and toys.
Of Falling and Floating,
These images are from Elijah Gowan's series, Of Falling and Floating. For some reason, despite their theatric tone, they make sense.
