Presents
Girl Ascending
Melissa Ann Pinney: Girl Ascending. Photographing the Dreams and Expectations of Girlhood.
Salt Lake Art Center presents Girl Ascending, the photographs of Melissa Ann Pinney, in the Street Level Gallery August 6 through October 30, 2010. Melissa Ann Pinney will speak as part of the Art Center’s Visiting Artist Lecture Series on Friday, September 24 at 7:00 PM. See www.slartcenter.org for details on how to become a member and join us for a special member’s reception with the artist that evening.
Grounded in attentive observation of the world, Chicago-based photographer, Melissa Ann Pinney reveals how dreams and expectations of girlhood are constructed and communicated between mothers and daughters, society and friends. She intimately portrays her daughter, Emma, growing up and becoming an adolescent, providing fresh insights into her day to day life with family, friends and neighbors. One of eight children from a large, Catholic family, the artist has always been drawn to scenes of family that also express her interest in ritual, mystery and memory. While her photographs capture seemingly insignificant moments from a girl’s daily world, they signify mythic and heroic themes of the vital transformation that takes place when a girl enters into womanhood.
