Artist Statement
From Tea Parties to Barbie Dream homes, as little girls, even our toys have hidden agendas turning us into fast adults. Hollee exists in an innocent world in which a pose is only a pose, but as adults we see more. We understand things that children may see as innocent forms of play, to be much more complex. My sister seems to hold both the curiosity and playfulness of a girl, as well as the emotions and seductive gestures of a woman. Though she is still a little girl she owns her femininity and makes her emotions clear for the camera. Using a soft light I want to portray that beauty that is held with in the process of growing up.
Process Statement
My sister and I work together to create images that unveil the inner beauty and confusion of process of growing from child to adulthood.
