Is art fiction or autobiographical? For me it is both. I deal with me being and discovering me. Really it's all about me! So I do therefore consider identity to be like a Barbie campervan to Barbie, it comes in a separate box but the two go hand in hand.
"I'm trying to make other people recognise something of themselves rather than me. I have an enormous fear of being miss-interpreted; of people thinking the photos are about me, that I'm really vain and narcissistic. Then sometimes I wonder how it is that I am fooling so many people"Cindy Sherman (1982) Untitled Statement pp 791 Artist Authored Texts 2004
