Why are you always upside down? Just when you think everything is facing straight ahead you end up tilted. The story of my life.
This photo is SOOC too.
Memories consume
Like opening the wound
I'm picking me apart again
You all assume
I'm safe here in my room
Unless I try to start again
I don't want to be the one
The battles always choose
'Cause inside I realize
That I'm the one confused
I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream.
I don't know why I instigate
And say what I don't mean.
I don't know how I got this way
I know it's not alright.
So I'm breaking the habit,
I'm breaking the habit
Tonight
Back in Ohio again. I had a fantastic time in NYC and I really did not want to leave. I'll be slowly putting up photos over the next couple of days, I suppose. It'll take awhile, haha.
This was one from the MOMA (I went yesterday). I like watching people interact with the art as much as I like the artwork itself.
Taken shooting into the "infamous" Sheffield Steel Balls that are outside the Winter Gardens. I am looking down into the camera display here.
Harness for Self-Reflection
Combining sculpture, image and text, "Harness for Self-Reflection" (2021) considers the tenuous relationship between chronic illness, agency and activism. Object and image compose a self-referential installation and looping phenomena that choreographs movement within the surrounding space. Documenting a private performance ritual of self-examination, eight silken image-texts hang in a pinwheel formation around a central copper cylinder. A wearable viewing apparatus or harness, hangs limp with nonuse at the structure’s center.
Cotton cord becomes the common thread between illness and culture, sexuality and healing, social bondage and autonomous political agency. Interweaving the ‘domestic’ craft of macramé with erotic shibari techniques, the harness binds the body to a large mirror suspended between the artist’s legs during performance–self-bondage diagnoses, reclamation of agency, auto-interview introspection. Performance images are overlaid with portions of a poetic text written in the artist’s hand. Here, temporal linearity collapses as terrains of embodied knowledge are traversed through metaphor, idiom, diary remembrance and real-time narration of a medical examination. Latent illness, elusive agency, fugitive knowledge; raw edged silken prints are volatile and highly sensitive to voyeuristic presences where even slight movements cause the material to flow and obfuscate.
Punctured momentarily when performer and viewer catch each other’s gaze through the viewing apparatus, the installation forms a feedback loop of looking that simultaneously threatens disaster and promises relief. A cyclical structure, cotton loops, and cursive script; "Harness for Self-Reflection" ensnares, a lens through which to consider the trap of visibility.

I like how there are three sets of reflections going on here. And how my face is mostly obscured, because that's pretty much what I try for when taking pictures of myself. Yes, I like to defeat the purpose.
Actually taken from the balcony of the entrance lobby of a friend in the building adjacent to the Ansonia on 73rd Street.
I really like this accidental shot.
We've been painting our house for the past 6 weeks (yikes) and I've had few opportunities to fondle my camera the way I'd like to. This afternoon I grabbed an armful of stuff — Vanity Fair — under my arm, was getting ready to rush our the door, and as I checked to see my battery levels this shot snapped from our front hall.
I love that there's multiple layers of reflection here; I'm shooting into a mirror that's reflecting of a picture that's re-reflecting off another picture. Whew! And of course, my grandfather's old, well, grandfather's clock which is a classic beauty though it hasn't ticked in 30 years. The darkened picture on the right is an original watercolor of the house.
I'm in love with photoshop and so I decided to play with compositing and I am IN LOVE! lol So much fun! Rosie Hardy was my inspiration for this piece most definitely.
This piece you could call a self portrait. The hands are breaking out the door to signify my struggle when it comes to me being in my own head. The door symbolizes the gate to my mind and how I am trapped once inside it, and I have two versions of me to show that I fight with myself inside my own head.
100% crop from a detail photo of a shower handle. I had "thought" I had moved out of the reflection, and for the larger surfaces I had.
