I took several hundred self-portraits with the Polaroid One-Step SX-70 camera in 1978. The artists whose work at the time captivated me were Lucas Samaras, Egon Schiele, and Rudolf Schwarzkogler. To document my life as a 21-year-old queer art punk, I used the Polaroid, multiple journals and performance. I posed, like any good punk, to put you off and to attract you just the same; its all the same.

Looking back
November 10, 1978 is the day Dan White resigned his position as San Francisco city supervisor. So if the fliers in the post before were a Monday night, and the 13th, then Dan quit on a Friday. Maybe that's where George W. Bush got his idea for dropping bombshells on Fridays, slow news day.
