This self portrait was really challenging in terms of deciding how to present myself, but ultimately I'm really pleased with how the final product turned out! It's difficult to put yourself in front of the lens when you're used to being on the other side.
I actually enjoyed working on the timeline more because it allowed my to lay things out with an almost anatomical mindset. I chose to include a few times that impacted me artistically- first time sewing with my grandma Ruby Nell, my three days stranded in NYC with my sister when I was 16 (I did get to go to the MoMA though!)- as well as personal momentos- a photo of my family in Nashville, a photobooth printout with my boyfriend, Krisztian, and my Prefect pin from Harry Potter world this past summer. I included a few tchotchkes that reside on my desk- my pineapple salt shaker, a cat I painted metallic purple, and a paper weight that came from my Papa Pinky's office. I feel like it encapsulates pretty well a few of the things I hold dear and a fraction of the events that have made me who I am.
