Faces
1998-2005
Digital Prints from Scanned Negatives
11" x 15"
Edition of 10
Faces explores the fine line between sanity and madness, both literally and metaphorically. The series began in 1998, when I photographed myself during an episode of manic psychosis. I sandwiched the images together, creating portraits that reveal the conflicting emotions erupting just beneath the surface. I retain the scratches that show the physicality and wear of the images over time, much like our bodies carry the marks of our experiences. Dark mirrors of the personal and universal, these portraits reveal the human capacity for terror, fear, jealousy, confusion, and desire within every one of us.
I am interested in opportunities for showing these works in alternative situations outside the mainstream gallery context, perhaps opening a dialogue with psychological and/or educational institutions.
