The Long Confidence
In The Long Confidence, I cull through art-historical, fashion, and vernacular images to make photographs that deconstruct male-authored pictures of women. Each photograph is titled after a central art historical work, which is the starting point for my stage-like sets and self-portraits. By isolating these images from their original context, I am challenging the inherent hierarchy between art, commercialism, and pornography, emphasizing ways in which women's bodies are censored across media.
