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.

"I look too vulnerable, making myself obvious wearing outrageous red. Yet, I assume normality. As if I didn’t have a different edge on them. Exploit the fetish. Red Lips Red Eye Makeup Rouged Cheeks" April 1978
