About
maiden, mother, crone presents new work by San Francisco-based photographer Reese Cowan.
Through photographs of the body, natural forms, and intimate gestures, Cowan explores the shifting roles, expectations, and ways of seeing that accumulate across different stages of a woman's life.
Throughout the exhibition, the human body and the natural world seem to echo one another. Curving forms recall strands of hair or the contours of a body, while trees, flowers, and small gestures suggest growth, vulnerability, and transformation. Some things are immediately recognizable; others reveal themselves only through closer looking.
Rather than presenting maiden, mother, and crone as separate or fixed identities, the exhibition considers how these experiences overlap, change, and remain with us. The photographs invite us to reflect on womanhood not simply as a progression through life, but as an ongoing process of becoming.
