two for the road; Justine Kurland, son in tow, shifts her lens from girlhood to maternity.(Interview)
Byline: Anne Stringfield
Photographer Justine Kurland first drew notice with her images of fierce, feral girls on the loose in raw landscapes that evoke Church and Cole reveries as easily as they do Victorian fairy paintings. The adolescents were directed with an incantation-"You're running away, you live in trees, you eat nectar, you torture boys, and you're a little bit mean"-that suggested an alternate version of Peter Pan, one in which Wendy wasn't the nurturing type. Now, inspired in part by the birth of her son, Casper, with sculptor Corey McCorkle, in 2004, Kurland has turned her attention to those girls' futures. In new works at the Mitchell-Innes & Nash gallery in Chelsea, naked mothers and children roam along blustery coasts and through forests, imbuing the rough settings with an idyllic grace.
"Having a baby has thrown me back to something knowable only to women, a certain immediacy and connectedness to this little being and by extension to many other beings," Kurland explains. "These pictures are not about family-they're more like a secret, knowing glance two women might exchange while pushing their children in shopping carts past each other in a grocery store."
