I aim to collapse the distinction between the factual and fictitious, and project my own histories and explorations through the lens and onto my subjects. My narrative seeks commentary on and representation of glamour by the most ordinary means. With point-blank actuality of that period between girlhood and adulthood, my work addresses issues suitable to an understanding of the construction of femininity.
