As a child my mother would sometimes say she was feeling blue… A color that refers to a feeling of sadness, melancholy, loneliness, isolation. The color blue was related to rain in Greek mythology. It was believed that the god Zeus would make it rain when he was sad. The genre of music referred to as The Blues came to mean agitation or depression. And when Picasso sank into a deep depression he began what was to become known as his Blue Period when the color blue dominates his paintings. As a sub-group of my VOID series, in these images ( appropriated and altered 19th century anonymous tintypes) I continue to explore the highly restrictive perimeters put upon women to fit into societal dictates and how a hidden underlying strength pervades.

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.
