    Susan Sontag excerpt from On Photography:

o   “To collect photographs is to collect the world."

o   “Photographed images do not seem to be statements about the world so much as pieces of it, miniatures of reality that anyone can make or acquire.”

-       Revisiting Carrie Mae Weem's Landmark "Kitchen Table Series"

o    "Weems’s black-and-white photographs are like mirrors, each reflecting a collective experience: how selfhood shifts through passage of time; the sudden distance between people, both passable and impassable; the roles that women accumulate and oscillate between; how life emanates from the small space we occupy in the world." 

o   “Everyone can relate to this work,” Sann said. “It’s not just Black women; it’s white women, Asian women.”

-          The Cindy Sherman Effect:

o   “'I think it has made me realize that we’ve all chosen who we are in terms of how we want the world to see us,' she says."

o   "The art world was ready for something new, something beyond painting."
