In these photos I was seeking to explore two parts of the body that fascinate me- collarbones and wrist bones- in all their fragility, exposure, and intimacy. Lying so close to the surface of the skin that I could actually wrap my fingers around them and feel as though I am holding the bone itself in between my digits, these bones had begun to become a bit of an obsession. So I recruited some friends and dragged them into the studio to try and highlight these body parts. What I found instead were uniquely intimate spaces; dips, bulges, hollows and protrusions defining the skeletons of my living, breathing friends.

 

Thank you to my models for lending me their stellar bones: Amber Weisenfeld, Katie Loebner, Brianna McMichael, Irene Shaver, Eliza Paul, Chris Shauger, Ethan Weston, Nathaniel Massey, and Gustav Axelson-Chidsey

The idea behind this project is to capture on paper the way our generation attempts to define ourselves. The drawings are a snapshot of the ever-changing MySpace page, which represents our ever-changing views of ourselves and of others. The Internet creates this space where we can freely decide what we want others to know about us; we decide how we want ourselves to be seen, what information we want others to know, what pictures we want to be public. We decide exactly who we are in the realm of the Internet, all the way down to our taste in music and who our friends are. This is a phenomenon that has never existed before that is accessible to everyone, and doesn't really seem to have an end. When I heard about the theme of the symposium, I thought that they fit very well. The drawings cross technological borders by being tangible representations of something that doesn’t actually exist outside of binary and html codes. I wanted the viewer to be able to interact with the pages and to put these individuals on display out of the context of a digital community and physically be able to cross that boundary of the computer screen. The drawings encapsulate individual experiences and provide insight into how our generation deals with identity. For me, recreating these pages is the “folk art” of our generation.

I am currently working on other drawings of friends and strangers from different cities, countries, genders, and cultures to create a giant, paper community of people.
