The Human Touch





I have only ever seen Carrie Mae Weems' photographs from this series in books, and they have always deeply resonated with me.  So, I was surprised and happy to see these three on view in the Blanton's exhibition, The Human Touch.  Throughout the series we glimpse a woman's life through intimate kitchen table scenes with her partner, friends, kids and alone. The photographs from this exhibition shine a light on the friendship of women and the ways they share in each other's pain through comfort, quiet strength, and a philosophy that life will keep on moving with love and humor.
