"I approach the idea of 'Alternative Processes' from a highly subjective point of view. I am greatly influenced by concepts of domesticity and the roles assumed by women who inhabit domestic spaces. Also, I have resigned myself to the fact that I am quite suggestible to the 'shoulds' of those domestic roles. Not only do I include myself in many of my photographs, but also I often infuse the object that is the photograph with traces of my 'self': paper made with my hair and by my hand, emulsion coated by my hand, a running stitch applied with my hands, and, most of all, the gestural and distorted photographic image produced by the Holga camera. Beyond my grasp, whether just outside the camera's view or almost within reach of my hands, the object of my longing is brought into question."
