Abstract
Photographer Anthony Mahone discusses his life and art. Born and raised in Cleveland, Mahone spent much of his early adulthood elsewhere; first, while attending a military academy in North Dakota, and later traveling to Europe and Africa. The bulk of Mahone's education was in Ohio (at Cleveland State and Ohio State University), where he also pursued his interest in Engineering, Physics, and History. Mahone discusses the influence of Cleveland photographer Misumi Hiyashi, as well as other faculty members at Cleveland State University. The artist describes the difficulties he has experienced as a black man who is also gay, sharing his insights on art, race, sexuality, family, and identity. This interview was conducted by telephone.
