In the Kitchenexplores family life, youth culture, and coming of age. . . . The kitchen is the place in the house where our daily dramas are enacted. It's where, together, we make a mess of things and do our best to clean it all up. —Dona Schwartz
Brilliantly observed and captured vignettes of contemporary adolescence, organized around a single room. —Alison Nordström, curator of photography, George Eastman House
