Cindy Sherman

For my images, I used my sister, Kaylin, as my model. I know Cindy Sherman used herself in all of her photos but I thought i could get a better feel of how she saw things by using someone else.

Cindy Sherman is known for her abstract self-portraits. Most of her works are usually photographed of herself dressed up in various costumes. She was motivated by someone she had been studying with; her name was Barbara Jo Revelle. She taught Cindy to simply, "just take pictures." She took pictures of just women to show the stereotypes and later she proved the stereotypes by making her images more intense.

Yellow Wallpaper

I chose to do this image because I feel like it captures the intensity of the story very well. You can see the emotions in the way the hand is shown and how the frustration is brought out. In the story, the woman sees who she can be and why she is ill and the glass represents how she can see through to the other side. She is wanting to get better but something and someone is keeping her from healing, and in this picture that is the glass.
