Celebrated photographer Tierney Gearon’s work has been labeled manipulative, disturbing and even perverse. A former model and dancer, Gearon came to notorious fame in 2001 when photos of her own naked and masked children in the “I Am a Camera” show at London’s Saatchi Gallery had authorities threatening child pornography charges. The mixture of art and family can almost be too close for comfort, but like much of Gearon’s photographs there is a subversive beauty that emerges from the incongruity between ordinary moments and madness. TIERNEY GEARON: THE MOTHER PROJECT is a moving and intricate portrait of an artist, her inspirations and unconventional family relationships. *"...the documentary is so firmly planted at the intersection of -- maybe that should be collision between -- artistic self-involvement and family." - Mark Feeney, **Boston Globe***
