Submission title: The Elusive Self
Who am I really, I
ask myself as I watch my elongated shadow play across the railroad tracks along
Lake Ontario; or my shattered reflection in a window of an abandoned gas
station on route 49; or when I hold an I.D. picture from my childhood refugee
papers against the background of a train journey through post communist Eastern
Europe; or me with a long ago lover in a penny arcade photo booth in the 1990s.
My
self-portraits are about intangible and fleeting moments of memory; mining the
past, remembered dreams, interior spaces. They are about metaphor, poetry,
vibration.
