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.

Note from 1978 journal about all the bands forming
July 7, 1978 (1:30 a.m.) "Now, in the immediate future, I will be needing to practice, the band is on the way. Three, no four, bands, I know of on the way in SF: IUD, Sportswear, Dead Kennedys, and Joy’s band, who at least have a place to play/practice. The Offs seem almost big-time, with offers to play LA and Cleveland."
