Blue Angles - 2018-19
Blue Angels, a series of collodion-based portraits made in collaboration with the culturally diverse drag (Queen & King) community in Chicago, Philadelphia and Miami. The work is concerned with questions about the visual representation of LGBTQ+ persons from the 19th century. By using the popular image making technology of the Victorian era, I am able to complicate social and visual history giving face to a real but imagined community.The work is manifested in one of a kind ambrotypes on black glass.
