Artist Statement:
“All art is the memory of our
dark origins, whose fragments
live in the artist forever.”
-Paul Klee
I am not a photographer or a
narcissist. I am an artist
with a camera. I want to push
the boundaries of what I
define as self and other by
playing with ideas of
identity, gender, archetype

moods and emotions by
physically transforming into

natural extension of my
artistic desire to work with
photography, coupled with my
reclusive personality. This
work is entirely
self-contained. As
photographer, subject,
costumer, makeup artist, and
post-processor, I have
complete control over the
resulting imagery, and am also
able to work alone at three in
the morning if the spirit
moves me.
Ironically, I have a hard time
identifying with my work as
“self” portraiture, because

personalities seem to be their

life for a moment, acting...
