My recent work:
“I was playing dress up for years before I understood the significance and importance of the tool of masquerade. When we submit to this practice, we create a game of tease characterized by the freedom to say, “Look at me. Desire me, judge me, but no, that’s not me you are looking at.” None of these feelings need be accounted for, as, with the nature of make-believe, it is just an act, only a costume, simply a wig. To place yourself under harsh, direct lighting, is to enter the most vulnerable of situations. To be photographed in costume produces a freedom for expression and lack of inhibition, void of all traces of self-doubt or reservations ordinarily present in real life scenarios. These photographs, no matter how far or near to an autobiographical standpoint they may be, are nevertheless meant to attract your attention, and, like a teenage girl with a penetrating gaze, are intended to leave you wide eyed and longing for more.”
