I am a girl – I take a lot of photographs and write a lot of words, both which i manipulate and generally fuck with until they look they way i want.

This work is about catharsis; pain, joy, isolation, sex, love, loss, motherhood, death, addiction, recovery, and - always - some kind of (usually quite loud) music going on in the background along with the cigarette, Canon and Photoshop.
So, like, my life.

How it all started:
Several years ago, i was in an accident that left me largely bedridden for several months. To relieve the days and nights of eye-crossing boredom, i began snapping self-portraits in the back-brace which i had to wear 24/7 for nearly two years. I still use it when i need to.

All of the humans in my photos are self-portraits unless otherwise specified.

I dedicate this work to my beloved son, Jamie. RIP.
