It is said that you can never really look at your own face. We only see ourselves in the eyes of others and through reflections. The way that people choose to present themselves in front of the camera is an attempt to shape their own visual impression. We are constantly altering our definition of self through the modification of appearance.
When a photographic image reveals a side of ourselves that we do not like to look at we tend to deny its truth by disposing of or hiding the picture. I am intrigued by the facets of self that the photographic process can uncover and even more so by what it does not show me.
I am photographer and subject, a duality that allows me to be my own voyeur. I am repeatedly exploring the idea of self through fiction and rendition.
