VHS SELF PORTRAITS



**HIGHLIGHT REEL. THESE VIDEOS CAN BE EXHIBITED INDIVIDUALLY.

In 1993-1994, when I was in art school, I felt like an outsider among outsiders. I was queer, but there were so few out queer people around me. I felt like I had no identity. To explore different personalities and aspects of myself, I started obsessively creating a numbered series of self-portrait sketches in black pen. These ranged from fantastical to completely absurd. At some point, I began dressing up as these characters and filming myself using my family's old Sears VHS camera that I had rescued from the garbage.

The Magician, the Book Worm, the Sad One, the Grunge Boy, the Circus Clown, the Screamer, the Weirdo, the Natural, the Demon, the Bachelor, the Questioner, the Cowboy, the Narcissist, the Nude, the Art Deco, the Old One and the Magician again.
