Haunted by a first way of seeing
The nameless abstractions
Quirks of an antique process
Then the avalanche comes down
Always two things
What it says to the world
And what it says to you
We've built too close to the river
The next flood will take us
–– On the works of Sally Mann, built with extractions
from a Walker Mimms interview with the photographer
published in the New York Times in September, 2025.
