“Graves and Lipman explore the adolescent energy, creativity and sexuality within the ritual construct of the formal event. The images reveal an astonishing simultaneity of emotion and demeanor – from awkward but engaged shyness to the uninhibited display of passion that is the defining ingredient of any good prom.  The focus is on moments of transformation ranging from frenzy to exhaustion.”
