J. Sybylla Smith, In Conversation with Toni Wilkinson & Susan Bright

Tough Pleasures turns a bright light and witty lens on the conflicting dynamics of femininity and food—revealing appetite and desire. Susan Bright's astute and savory essay provides the perfect table setting for the environmental portraits that follow. Wilkinson masterfully interrupts the repetitive and limiting messaging of unattainable expectations and endless critique by putting power in the hands of her subjects, real women and girls. In this conversation, Toni and Susan discuss, among other things:Shooting intuitivelySlow lookingPenisesCapturing chaosToo muchnessInterrogating with lightBreaking image sequence with detailed shotsRevisiting work and reopening the seriesDefying prescripted roles Playing with power playsImage-making as a tool to engage in ideasSlog, splendor and sensuality
