Postcards from Home
Artist Statement

This work is tied to the realization that often hatred doesn't wear a
white hood. In all of its subversive manifestations racism presents
itself in oxford cloth shirts, corduroy jackets and floral dresses.

The North Carolina Museum of History provided me with access to
original Ku Klux Klan uniforms from the 1920's from which I was able
to make patterns. From those patterns I made hoods out of contemporary fabrics. 
For many years I made my living photographing corporate CEO’s,
I use the same lighting set-up for these images.

Racism and hatred are often historicized. This work is my attempt to
address and acknowledge that these elements operate as a constant in
our society and surround us daily, like wolves in sheep's clothing.

All works are 30” x 30” digital prints
