Self-portrait triptych
"I am an interdisciplinary artist who draws from my broad range of experiences. My life and I shifted frequently, having moved from the prairies of Alberta to the coast of Newfoundland to rural Michigan and finally—and passionately—to the City of Detroit.
[This] triptych of photographic self-portraits, each one with something in my mouth—an apple, a Ken doll, and a fish, comes from a series called 'Faces of Woman.' The faces depict the ways women are perceived by men or society."
