Virtually unknown to the art world at the time, self taught photographer Tierney Gearon exploded onto the art scene in 2001 with Charles Saatchi’s “I am a Camera” exhibition in London. Since her controversial debut, Gearon has been pushing the envelope of contemporary photography. “The Mother Project” and “Daddy, Where are you” gave us an intimate view into Tierney’s relationship with her mentally ill mother, capturing the raw intensity and celebrating her free spirit. Most recently Gearon has pushed her photography to a new zenith, double exposing film inside of the camera to produce groundbreaking chance narratives in EXPLOSURE.
For Aleim Magazine Tierney photographed Jason Momoa and Jan Sharp.
Stupendous images.
