Artwork on Wall:
“This was from a series I did in which I re-enacted ad campaigns. This is ‘Untitled (Dolce and Gabbana).’ It was trying to get at ideals of female imagery in film and media, how a woman is placed in those as an object. It was shot in black and white to show the nuance of what a gray territory this is. It titillates us, but we are allowed to have conflicting feelings about it.”
Fashion in Artwork:
“I love fashion, and I’m aware of it, but it’s a place where it’s more about women and who they are, rather than a manufactured version of what the media wants to portray.”
Medium-Format Cameras:
“They’re beautiful. I actually use them, just not for my work right now.”
Albums:
“The old adage of vinyl is true: If it was originally recorded analog, nothing sounds better. People may disagree, but they’re wrong. I can’t make music or write literature. Both are magical to me. They inspire so much of what I do.”
Lounge Chair:
“I bought it at an antique mall. It’s probably from an old airport lounge.”
Attire:
Reformation shirt, Helmut Lang jeans, Minelli boots, snake bracelet. “I had one when I was little, but I sold it. I was obsessed with it, though—and then I realized I could just buy another on the Internet.”
