Tell me about the work you have been doing.
My recent bodies of work are around the notion of the prostitute, they are part of a dialogue about what creating a sexualized identity and advertising on the internet might mean. I take apart the process of taking photographs, I also use text and collage to question what one is seeing and who is being addressed. It is also a personal journey about my own relationship to my womanliness.

How did you get into doing this?
