Tender / by Williams, Carla,1965-photographer.(CARDINAL)421307; Container of (work):Miller-Young, Mireille,1976-Carla Williams's Black feminist pornographic gaze.; TBW Books (Oakland, Calif.),publisher.;
"TBW Books is pleased to present Tender, the first monograph by artist Carla Williams. Made in private between 1984 and 1999 and kept mostly to herself for more than thirty years, the images in Tender comprise a complete, personal self-portrait of a young, queer, Black woman intimately exploring the realm of her own possibility. When Williams was eighteen and studying photography at Princeton, she began making the black and white and color portraits in Tender to create pictures in her own image. Her mind was filled equally with the canonical images of the medium's male-driven history and the posing women discovered during her youth in her father's pornography collection. Using her own body, Williams created the portraits she had never seen before. Made with instant Polaroid 35mm and 4x5 type 55 film formats, Williams profited from the near instant result to continuously play with her own expression and form. An act of tender commune with herself, these are every version of the artist on full display: provocative, playful, sensual, gentle, powerful, mean, glamorous, forlorn, funny. The photographs in Tender are ignited with the raw energy of a young artist on the cusp of adulthood and her own burgeoning sexual identity. Included in the book are essays by the artist and scholar Mireille Miller-Young." -- Publisher's website."It all started when I decided on the spur of the moment to purchase an old postal sorting cabinet on eBay. After getting it home and installed in the living room, I had to figure out what to do with it, so being photographically inclined I thought, 'why not sort snapshots in it?' As a photographer and the keeper of my family's photographs I figured I'd fill all 63 slots; I filled less than a quarter. So I sorted through all of my photo boxes, eager to fill more slots, and I came upon a stack of Type 669 Polaroid 3½ x 4¼ prints, ones I'd quickly made about twenty years ago using one of those old Vivitar instant slide printers. There were soft-­focus images processed using an obscure, highly toxic direct-positive formula I concocted from the Photographer's Formulary (and of which, at the time, I was extremely proud, being the non-technician that I was). Most I had shot using Polaroid 35mm instant slide film--Polagraph, Polapan, and Polablue--gorgeous, silvery slips that, of course, you just couldn't see easily unless you printed them. These were only ever intended for my reference, so I didn't take any particular care with them; besides, I was plagued, it seemed, by technical misfortune: Polaroid slide film had to be processed using a small machine in which you'd roll the film out along with its developing pack, wait a designated number of seconds, then roll it back into the canister. Many of my rolls were inexplicably streaked in this processing, hence the frequent white stripes that appear in the subsequent prints. As usual, I made the most of these technical mistakes, sometimes more successfully than others, but I had so many of them I couldn't abandon all of the images that had streaking, scratches, or other ailments. And of course, now that all of those products and the equipment are no longer available/obsolete, the materiality of these small prints takes on an added significance. When I began to sort through the stack a funny thing happened-I rediscovered how much I loved these photos, and I loved this fearless young woman who was making them. Here I could see the origins of everything, when photography was endlessly fun and exciting and something I did persistently and constantly in part for the joy of looking. What I saw was a very young photographer enthralled by the medium and its history. There's my homage to my favorite Lee Friedlander self-portrait (Philadelphia, 1965), which has always best summed up the utterly mundane and unpretty process of photographing one's self; my paper backdrop cuttings a la Francis Bruguière--in short, the whole of my photo history education to that point was reflected in the kinds of images I made and sought to make..." -- Full Statement available at :Paris Photo-Aperture Foundation PhotoBook Awards. 2023 First PhotoBook Shortlist.
