Photographs to explore and question one’s own identity – and how this kind of ‘looking within’ allows the viewer to also refelct on themsleves. I was really interested to read about Heather Casey’s work on the Middlesex University blog. Casey works with the self portait. There is an element of chance within her work – her photographs becoming dirtied in the printing process.
I’ve also been using an element of chance in my self portraiture to explore identity and my changing self -perception. I’m influenced by Francesca Woodmans photographs -rich in content and with multi-layered meaning her self portraits are incredibly accomplished.
