Nancy, Twine and Blanket Construction, Danville, Virginia
A young girl is wrapped and entangled in a web of twine interlaced with a blanket, her body at once constrained and playful within the homespun construction. Gowin's intimate black-and-white photograph captures the quiet, inventive world of childhood in the rural American South, where ordinary domestic materials become the tools of imaginative play. The image reflects Gowin's deeply personal approach to photographing family and community, finding beauty and mystery in the everyday life of Danville, Virginia.
