In Homegrown, Julie Blackmon expands her exploration of childhood and domestic life, finding humor, mystery, and unease within everyday surroundings. Bringing together photographs made between 2009 and 2014, the book reveals an increasingly elaborate world in which ordinary moments become theatrical scenes. References to painting and popular culture enrich images that balance family intimacy with the absurdities of contemporary life. A foreword by poet Billy Collins and an interview by Reese Witherspoon offer complementary perspectives on Blackmon’s imagination and the stories unfolding within her photographs.
