Exit Magazine

This month my work is featured in Exit Magazine, an amazing art publication from Madrid, Spain.  The theme for this issue was “Once Upon a Time…”  My photographs are alongside the works of such artists as Julia Margaret Cameron, Lewis Carroll, Anthony Goicolea, Yeondoo Jung, Annie Leibovitz, Cindy Sherman, and Miwa Yanagi.

Miwa Yanagi is one of my favorite contemporary photographers.  Her latest body of work is called FAIRY TALES.  This series deals with the relationships between young girls and older women.   She chooses famous children’s stories, such as Rapunzel and Snow White,  stories in which the central characters are either young or old, then reinvents the story by confusing the distinctions.  Both roles are played by adolescent girls, but the older character wears the mask of an old hag.  You almost get the sense of children playing dress up. The images in this series were all shot in black and white.  I love her sets and the styling is marvelous.  Here is one of my favorites:
