I combine sewing and photograph to create masks. The images used for the masks are of female friends and family. They are created through a photo-transfer process from an actual photograph I have taken on fabric. Other individuals wear the masks and are then re-photographed. You can say, that the masks are photographs looking back at the viewer from within another photograph; a double illusion twice removed.
Because the facial features of the mask do not align with the the wearer's face, they present the viewer a new “face” within the photograph, one that folds and indents to create a new indistinct person, where a woman can have dark hands, yet a fair face, body or features, canceling out any meaning initially placed on that body.
