Unwed with Calla Lilies 2001

Unwed with Calla Lilies is the result of my ongoing interest in gender identity, queer theory, and androgyny.  Documenting subjects that embody these concepts is both a spiritual and political task.  The interplay between the beauty and feyness of the subject on one hand and the sense of political exclusion and inequality on the other creates a tension the viewer must confront or else become implicated.
