About the Item

Archival pigment print Signed, titled, dated, and numbered on label, verso 11 x 11 inches (Edition of 7) 15 x 15 inches (Edition of 5) This photograph is offered by ClampArt, located in New York City. Frances F. Denny's series, “Let Virtue Be Your Guide,” examines the artist’s family and their deeply rooted history as early settlers of New England. One ancestor, John Howland, was a deckhand aboard The Mayflower. Unearthing the idea of feminine “virtue” from the confines of its historical meaning, the photographs of the women in the artist’s family have a watchful quality, as if the artist is defining for herself what it means to be a woman. Her sitters, and the domestic spaces they inhabit, together evoke a distinct and well-worn privilege. In the photographs, seams pull apart exposing the shifts occurring across generations of women. The resulting collection of images becomes a search for meaning in heritage, a challenge to the notion of legacy, and the artist’s reckoning with a traditional version of American femininity. Photographs included in “Let Virtue Be Your Guide” were taken between 2011-2014. They were made in nine private residences located in Maine, Massachusetts, New York, and Rhode Island. Frances F. Denny (b. 1984) is an artist based in Brooklyn, New York, whose work investigates the development of female selfhood and identity. Her monograph, "Let Virtue Be Your Guide," was published by Radius Books in 2015. She holds an MFA from the Rhode Island School of Design and a BA from the Gallatin School at New York University.
