Fascinated with ambiguity and the power of physical transformation, I decided to adopt a pseudonym to conceal my identity. By choosing Dollface, a term of endearment used predominantly during the nineteen twenties, I am drawing a parallel between an expression considered intimate with myself, a relative stranger to most. Through these disguises, I disconnect from my personal experiences in order to shape a new and universal narrative. This allows for an immediate development of visceral and personal communication with others. By removing my individual persona, I can use my body as the everybody and as the nobody.

While all photographs bend the truth, mine happen to be obvious lies. The performance driven images I create are a representation of my fears, fantasies, and fetishes. Utilizing collage techniques, digital technology, theatrical properties, and elaborate costuming, I invent of appropriate marvelous, though sometimes bizarre, characters that portray a diminutive part of who I am. This is a method of self preservation, with an aesthetic that reveals, but also protects, my reality. In a way, they are puzzle pieces that don't quite fit together but still make a picture. They are what lies beneath hundreds of masks that you can't quite get passed, but still know someone, or something, is lurking.

There is often beauty in my work, with circumspect mistakes or unpleasantness. These dualities serve to demonstrate the imperfections in ourselves and in the world around us. In my experiences, I have come to find that life is very much the same, with an equilibrium of satisfaction and frustration, anger and complacency, love and hate. Like finding a razorblade in a cupcake, it is unexpected, but holds a certain truth.
