This collection titled Shadows is part of my larger Voids series In this group I continue to explore the highly restrictive perimeters put upon women to fit into societal dictates and how a hidden underlying strength pervades. Even though these images are approriated from tintypes dating back to the late 19th century when women’s lives were truly restricted, many of these restrictions continue to the present though not as blatantly expressed. The word shadow can have many meanings. It can be “ a dark image made by a body” a “feeling of gloom”, "something without reality or substance” or in this case, to observe, take in, to change, to take shape, gather strength and to CAST their shadows.

I grew up in New York, and though I now live in Jersey City I consider myself a New Yorker. I received my BFA in photography from Kansas City Art Institute. My work explores male/female relationships in a phallocentric society. I appropriate & digitally alter 19th century tintypes, predominantly of women. I name each woman using names common during the 19th century; thus giving each a personal identity. The 19th century brings together several forces. Studies of biological determination created the belief that men were the superior sex. The roles of men and women were strictly separated. Women belonged at home as wife and mother. This was also advent of the tintype. Now all classes, not just the rich could have their images recorded. Finally this was also the beginning of the women's suffrage movement. Women were increasingly becoming discontent with their restricted lives. It was time to fight for their rights. I use each tintype as my starting point to create a new narrative that incorporates history, personal experience and current social issues of today.
