Inspired by black or white trash bags, baby powder, St. Vitus’ Dance, Heinrich Fussli, shoulder pads, insoles, when someone’s two front teeth are turned inwards, the Imbunche myth, ‘honey bees swarming on some liver’.
I started to take photographs when I turned Fifteen. I don’t know what it was that made me want to start taking them but I think I felt like I knew exactly what I wanted to have the people around me do in them. Wanted strong blank stares and space. Wanted boredom. I am pretty bad at the creative process. I have no idea how to use a camera. The only thing I am sure of is how I want people and objects positioned. Studios are usually State Parks in Texas, dirty pools, creeks.... I dream about it all the time, many of my ideas for photographs come directly from my dreams.
