From the MFA Boston website: Celebrated photographer Sally Mann joins us for an evening of reflection on a lifetime of art making and the deep emotional terrain of creative work. Drawing from her new book Art Work, as well as decades of acclaimed photography, Mann shares personal insights into the themes that have shaped her career—memory, place, family, mortality, and landscape. Known for her bold and poetic vision, Mann explores not only what it means to make art, but how art shapes the artist in return. She considers the artistic process in all its complexity: the doubts, the revelations, the discipline, and the moments of grace that sustain a creative life.
