Greenwood (Jan–Aug 2024)
After a decade devoted to an evangelical lifestyle, Louisiana native M.G. Tucker became disenchanted with its dogmatic culture. ‘Greenwood’ finds Tucker lost, reaching for a new reality, and so creating his own narrative in the wake of religion.
With thirteen faceless photographs, Tucker expresses a portrait of the considerations made while building a life from scratch. Focusing on the immediate vernacular of homes, cemeteries, and the modest charms of the Gulf South, he unveils an intimacy with his own spiritual conflicts while connecting the dots of his personal ancestries.
As our attention is subverted by screen-time and its answers for everything, ‘Greenwood’ invites the viewer to rekindle wonder and find serenity in truth’s elusiveness, as Tucker found through his questions and his cameras.
M.G. Tucker (b. 1992) is a photographer in New Orleans, Louisiana. He was born in Metairie and raised on the north shore of Lake Pontchartrain.
Finding the warmth in everyday moments, he reveals plain beauty by practicing slow-paced and vernacular image-making. Considering the abiding narratives in play at the intersection of man-made and natural environments, his photographs concern ideas of place, home, and earnest living.
