Relationships
Mary Frey’s recent release “My Mother, My Son”, published by TBW Books, is a meditation on life’s phases, lived in the present tense.
The photographer’s work historically revolves around daily, domestic rituals. In this book she compiles an unusual family album gathering glimpses of daily life, common moments in a variety of intimate relationships. The work reflects on society’s values, and what constitutes a moment’s “normality”.
Using the title of her 2004 photograph, My Mother, My Son, as an inspirational starting point, Mary Frey pulls from her archive of photographs to create a story that collapses linear time, posing the question: “How do we remember those moments?”
