Series of self-portraits based on actual personal ads placed in newspapers.
PERSONAL NEEDS
by Linda Dawn Hammond
The original Series (since expanded) consists of 12 self-portraits inspired by actual ads, placed in the personal columns of newspapers. Each photograph matches an ad as an "ultimate" response, though more often the result is closer to my own than what the writer of the ad would wish or require. These are self-portraits and as such, permit me the illusion of becoming anyone's "ideal", whereas in fact, by nature of the disguise and deception, I answer to no one. There is a message of hope, as the series suggests that only the constraints of our imagination restrict us in terms of who we may become in this life. On a darker side, it explores the prescribed limitations set by others, who seek to limit and mold their intended into a creature of their own making. The images explore sexuality, gender roles, fetishism and the "desperation to connect" as a Human condition. Humour keeps it all in perspective. The original photographs are made from large format (4 by 5 inch) negatives; the "photo corners" / ads are Canon Laser copies. They were presented in gold and velour frames, accompanied with 11 Fetish boxes, (dim. 8" by 10"), which contained objects,various textures and excepts of text by Gilles Deleuze from his book, Coldness and Cruelty. 12 B&W photographs, (dim. 11" by14"),11 Fetish boxes, (dim. 8" by 10"), including... 1. Hermaphrodite Welcome , 2. Biblical Wife , 3. Planet of Her Own Making , 4. Gothic Romance , 5. Heavyset Teddybear Seeks , 6. New Woman , 7. Meatless Meal , 8. Artist or Businessman, 9. Genius With a Big Dick, 10. 4His Slaves, 11. Kitten With Claws, 12. Big Where It Counts.
An additional photograph, 13. Female Touch, was added to the Artefect exhibit in 1991, in protest of Canada Council funding for Artists being diverted to finance the Gulf war effort. Since that time, additional photographs were created as part of the ongoing series, which have yet to be displayed.

My daughter Eva drawing on the concrete with some chalk. This was shot during the celebration of her 4th birthday around family and friends. She makes me smile... and I find this picture to be very dynamic and energizing to me.

Jorge Olave ‘La Modelo del artista’, (The Artist’s Model), Fundación Gilberto Alzate Avendaño, Calle 10, 3 – 16, Bogotá, Colombia
The sculptured human figures perched on La Candelaria roofs and balconies were created in the mid-1990s by local artist Jorge Olave with financing from City Hall. Each was modeled after a local resident, generally ordinary people such as shoeshine men, carpenters and one of the artist’s models. Originally, they numbered about two dozen, but many have been damaged by wind, rain and sunlight. Olave is arranging financing for a new set of sculptures to be placed on the Plaza del Chorro.

A cake I made for a grandmother turning 70, who's nickname is Nanny Woof Woof as she has always had dogs, and looks after the family dogs when needed. She does water colours as a hobby, and was a nurse.

What an incredible artist. I photographed this at a bookshop. It's a cover of a catalogue of his graphics and watercolours. I may buy it next month, when my pockets are bit heavier with cash.
