Favorite of hers

Woods and Roses

"This work represents an autobiographical questioning of sexuality and gender roles that shape the identity of  the self in intimate relationships. Polarities of identity such as the masculine and feminine psyche, the irrational and rational self, the exterior and interior self, the motivated and resigned self are portrayed.  By combining multiple photographic negatives of the same model in each image, the dualities of the self are defined by body language and clothing worn. This work is an honest representation of the duality or multiplicity of the self in regards to decisions about intimate relationships, family, belief systems and lifestyle options."

I think she really does a great job at capturing the grey times in life. By grey times I don't mean dull, simply not in the extremes of black and white... The moments aren't calling for attention, but are generic moments in our lives and relationships. In the photographs, some more than others, you can really see the genuity and individual personalities come through. I just love how humble this whole series feels. Can't get enough of it-
