J. Sybylla Smith, In Conversation With Barbara Peacock
1Description
American Bedroom: Reflections on the Nature of Life is a messy, energetic, playful and heart-stoppingly poignant romp into the intimate spaces of ordinary Americans. Each portrait is accompanied by text by the subject. The result is an anthropological study of the physical, emotional, spiritual, political and psychological landscape of 21st century America. Peacock brings a wealth of experience and a very expansive heart to this tour de force of human cartography.
In this conversation, Barbara discusses, among other things:
Leading with the light - especially cascading amber light
Grabbing the details
Serendipity
Being bold and thinking big
Following instinct and intuition
