Neo-Politik

I  recently styled a Photoshoot for CULT Magazine feat actress Eva Jane Gaffney. The concept consisted of a young Joseph Stalin transcending the space time continuum and meeting Margaret Thatcher in 1979. This Joseph Stalin is untouched by his future legacy and at this point remains idealistic. He is 23. Their ensuing political discord and widely divergent philosophies inflame a passion that consumes them. Margaret is more mature, Joseph is far younger but her intellectual equal.The social and economic backdrop is austere the music is Kraftwerk.

A Multidimensional Construct of the Self

According to Sharon Gill, Body Image is "a multidimensional construct of the self, consisting of how individuals think, feel and behave regarding their own physical attributes. It comprises the various cognitions an individual has about his/her body, as well as the behaviours he/she engages in as a means of maintaining and enhancing physical appearance"

Below is the Thesis I wrote for my Bachelors Degree accompanied by its Wordle(the bigger the word the more it's used.) This was a difficult endeavor. Due not only to a particularly heavy studio workload but also the challenge of writing a body of work such as this and how the breadth of research and its subsequent writing has challenged the prism through which I view myself, the world and my place in it. I wrote most of it while I should have been doing studio work or sleeping. It is one of the pieces I left my degree with that I'm most proud of.
