Terry Evans (b. 1944, Kansas City) is known for her photographs of the people, landscapes, and artifacts of the American Midwest. She grew up in the heart of the American prairie, inspiring her lifelong passion for the Great Plains, which she has photographed since the mid-1970s. Evans’ work provides us with an insight into the complexities and contradictions of this environment, particularly in her native Kansas.
Evans was made an Honorary Doctor of Arts at the University of Kansas, where she received her BFA, in 2016. She is a Guggenheim Fellow (1996) and a recipient of an Anonymous Was a Woman award (2006). Several books have been published on her work.
Evans has exhibited widely, including at the Art Institute of Chicago; the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History, Washington, D.C.; Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, Kansas City; and The Field Museum of Natural History, Notre Dame, Indiana. Her work is in major museum collections including the Art Institute of Chicago; Museum of Modern Art, New York; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; Smithsonian American Art Museum, Washington, D.C.; Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; and the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, among many others.
When I photograph, I respond instinctively in the moment to what inspires me. Through the years, I have become more attuned to emotional moments, wrinkles in a face, the nuances of my environment...All of the visual elements resonate more deeply with me emotionally, so do the people I have worked with, including those who are no longer with us.
– Debbie Fleming Caffery, Lenscratch interview
In Light of Everything immortalizes in book form Debbie Fleming Caffery’s first major career retrospective presented at the New Orleans Museum of Art. Examining the deep emotional relationship between people and place, Caffery is recognized as a leading photographer visualizing the American South. Her shadowy, blurred images thoughtfully feature elements of luster to reveal elements of the shared human experience—childhood, spirituality, labor—and ultimately bring darkness to light. This publication is her most comprehensive to date, showcasing projects produced within and beyond the American South to Mexico, France, and the American West. Caffery’s sixth title, In Light of Everything is the first to feature all series over the course of her career.
