Portia Munson: PINK!


Interesting meditation on the color PINK. Obviously relevant to my work. My concerns with early/instantaneous gendering and the consumer products that drive color identification in young people.

Rineke Dijstra: Park Portraits

I've been familiar with Dijstra for some time. But these Park Portraits struck me more then any of her other work. And it was through these images that I started to understand her images as a whole. In my examination of these portraits, I focus on how we've been trained to present ourselves, both by our parents and by the camera. How we are poised and pose. And how children already have this sense of maturity and purpose that looks contrived or exterior to their very being.





The girl in the fairy costume is the exception. While she is the most costumed, she is also the most child-like. Letting us live in her fatally with her. Whereas the other children refer very strongly to what they will be when they grow up, or what they already are.

My Work in 75 Words or Less

My work focuses on the stereotype and performance of the Good Girl –– her training, attire, social etiquette, intimate relationships and everyday operational tactics. I explore the inter-workings of her character through documented video performances, testing the limits of her composure, examining the fragility of her cultivated appearance and ultimately asking the question –– what does it mean to be good and what does it mean to be a girl?

Baby Limb Wall Hooks


I find these to be fascinating. And Smart. And Funny.

For more crazy wall hooks, not related to dolls.

What Happened to Sally?

This is a new work, commenting on the overwhelming influence of pink in a young girls life.
