Le Coq #2
"There is a general ambience of the youthful idealism readers may recall once having shared. It is an age when love and sex and relationships are being discovered, as well as the beauty of the natural world and of art and literature, for the sense of beauty is something that mysteriously awakens with puberty. It is also the age at which the mind begins to apprehend the world around itself and become aware of the suffering of others, and of the existence of evil and injustice: revulsion and indignation are manifestations of a new moral sense that will soon be muted by self-interest and the realities of survival... The discovery of intimacy, the feeling, so intense when first encountered, of closeness in a private world and simultaneously of alienation, is poignantly evoked in Laura Stortenbeker's series of photographs of boys and girls in bird masks..."
