Artist Statement
Identity as achieved though body transformation is powerful. I am fascinated with these expressions, especially when painfully permanent. Viewed by some as repulsive, I am drawn to the visual excitement and uniqueness I see expressed.
My #PosedDenver project explores identity and the relationships between how people see themselves versus how others see them. I ask women who are not models to be themselves for posed images. They are photographed around downtown Denver, producing portraits of beauty. A blending of visual dimensions is created by combining who they really are with who I think they are. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. What do you see?
Do you want to be posed? Model call is ongoing in 2017/2018. This is a year long fine art portrait photography project which began shooting in Spring of 2017 and is expected to complete shooting in Spring of 2018.
