Responding to David Holah’s paper bag project at City Lit. The inspiration comes from a mask series by Saul Steinberg and Inge Morath www.magnumphotos.com/arts-culture/art/inge-morath-saul-steinberg-masks/

The intention is to create a new identity or an alternative persona. I’m intrigued to find out if I feel differently wearing the disguise when I go out into the world.

I have a series of photographs that I bought in a Paris flea market a couple of years ago. Often wondering who the people were and what their stories are, I used them as a basis for this project. The head and arm covering have a French look and feel. The arm covering is my interpretation of a famous building in Paris.
