do it

the action that i did for this project was based on autobiographical content. i printed my face on translucent paper then to stabilize it i ran wooden dows through the sides. i had my friend hold the paper in front of her face and made my images from there. i also wrote a little story, not so much a story as a collection of related sentences. the story is about my attachment to memories; it's a realization of my inability to look at what is really there as opposed to what i remember and what i want to be there. the images apply to my own self image and the pretense that i've changed but i do not consider what i look like to be what i am, i want to be what i was. i wanted to incorporate the story so i've added it in as a whole and then altered and cropped some areas.
