This body of work is based upon a notion of expression of identity. As an artist, I hope to have facilitated a collaborative expression of the ever changing individual identity and cultural heritage of these eight women. Through the use of photographs, I embrace the notion of a language of images that expresses “Who I am.” Such an expression here has grown forth from both subject and photographer. In order to allow the photographic subject to claim her voice in this process, the selection of which photographs to exhibit was undertaken jointly by both myself and the subject. One of the photographs in each set therefore depicts each woman as seen through my lens and my eye and reflects an expression of my artistic identity. The accompanying selection was chosen by the subject herself and so reflects an expression of her individual identity.
