When I take photos of anyone else, the narrative of the making IS the excuse for sharing.
These images of myself, these bits of the 'bifurcated self,' are they bound together by no more than thread?
So much ecstasy and freshness and damage wound like a scroll in a player piano. This! My player piano.
"I don't make work about being victimized...
I rather find everyone capable of terrible things and I fear my own weakness and blindness first."
- Marlene Dumas, 2003

you make me want to live deeper, with more pain and more pleasure.
It would be easier to look at these if you were a stranger. The natives believed that a picture stole a person's soul. You give us fragments of yourself, if not your soul, in every frame. You are so fearless I'm often afraid for you.
