NOWNESS Features Tierney Gearon's 'Alphabet Book' Video

Nowness writes, "G is for grumpy girls and J is for jump for joy in today's effervescent short, courtesy of Tierney Gearon’s iPhone. Spliced with images gathered over the past three years for her new project, Alphabet Book, the film features Gearon's four kids and their sprightly friends playing dress-up in picturesque locales from Telluride in Colorado to the family's home in Los Angeles, creating a project Gearon describes as an 'art book for children and a children’s book for adults.'"

Tierney Gearon: Alphabet Book

Art book for children, or children’s book for adults? Tierney Gearon's Alphabet Book collects 26 brightly bewitching photographs of her young children (and their friends) in evocative combinations of costumes and set—their imaginations unconstrained. "Sometimes we would set up scenes and situations and they would sit there for days, and that was when the best shot happened," Gearney writes for Time magazine's Lightbox feature. "'Private Princess' (for the letter P, featured here) is a prime example. We set up a pink playhouse castle in Montana, the whole kingdom spread before us. I found this great vintage red dress for my niece. She wore it every day we were there. I had other fun costumes and props for the kids. All kinds of situations happened near the pink castle. But my favorite moment was the quiet portrait at the end of the day, with my niece dancing alone—the calm after the chaotic playtime storm. An hour earlier the whole party was happening; now it was just still." continue to blog

Tierney Gearon's Alphabet Book

Happy holidays from ARTBOOK | D.A.P.! Featured image, illustrating the letter 'X' with the phrase Xmas Xing, is reproduced from Tierney Gearon's Alphabet Book, published by Damiani. Jamie Bradley Sims of T magazines writes, "It’s a great introduction to Gearon’s work for children and adults of all ages." Her new book takes the form of a children’s alphabet book. Each letter of the alphabet is illustrated with a photograph by Gearon that animates the letter: A is "Airplane Adventure," B is "Bear Boy," C becomes "Clown Car," etc. At once an inventive photo book and an enchanting take on the children’s alphabet book, this volume contains Gearon’s most charming and lighthearted work to date. The artist describes the project as "an art book for children and a children’s book for adults." continue to blog
