bio

I have been making self-portrait photographs since I was a teenager. Since 2001, I have been photographing myself as different male and female characters observing undefined disasters looming beyond the camera lens. My "Disaster Series" is inspired, in part, by news photographs of recent catastrophes. In 2006, I began work on a new series of self-portrait photographs as men called "The History of Moustaches." I am influenced by feminist cultural criticism and writing on gender, photographers like Cindy Sherman and Nikki S. Lee, and fashion.
