About The Artwork
Throughout history woman have been bound. They were bound to their men, they were bound to their home and they were bound to their children. They were even bound in the clothing they wore. Men were believed to be the superior sex and women were their property. Women lived in the shadows of their men. The 19th century brings together two forces. One was the belief that the role of men and women were strictly separate and the advent of the tintype. This was an exciting time in photography. It was probably the first time most people were able to have their images recorded. Each of my images begins with a tintype, which I scan and manipulate. Tintypes tell their own story which was created by the photographer and the sitter. I use that story as my starting point. I manipulate the image by layering visual metaphor (here I use botanicals, trompe l' oeil,) thus creating my own narrative. My women SEE, they are strong, resilient, and waiting patiently for their moment.

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.
