In All the In Between: My Story of Agnes, visual artist Laurie
Brownell McIntosh uses more than 70 painted panels to tell the
cradle-to-grave story of her late mother, Agnes Smith Brownell. A
scientist, artist, doctor s wife, and mother, Agnes approached life
with a kind of candor and pragmatism that left little room for
sentimentality. From telling her thirsty and whining children to
swallow their spit, to tending to her dying husband, to
orchestrating a life of ritual in her widowhood, Agnes was a force
to be reckoned with, eliciting emotions from her youngest daughter
that were equal parts fear, reverence, and love. All the In
Between: My Story of Agnes is a eulogy, a memorial, a work of art,
and a kind of tribute that validates everything between the first
and last breaths of a life well lived. There are no heroes or
heroines in the story; no parables; no broken hearts or drama; no
secrets to take to the grave. Yet the story is extraordinary in its
simplicity. By capturing images of her mother s life through the
intimacy of her own interpretations, McIntosh allows her readers a
rare kind of insight to the life of a stranger made close and
personal for us through the nuance of her daughter s familiarity.
Yet, she does so without folly. Using paintings that are honest and
straight-forward, yet beautiful and tender, she tells the tale of
her mother s life with the kind of dignity that would have made
Agnes proud.
