On Gossamer Wings

There is a space in between dreams and wakefulness. That moment in between breaths. In meditation, this is the sweet spot. This is where I believe the real magic happens. Where enchanted fairies frolic freely and sometimes cause mischief, but only of the most delicious kind.

There is something incredibly sacred about a woman photographing another woman. In this body of work, I am photographing women I know and love.

I am profoundly grateful for – and honored by – the trust that these women have placed in me, and their willingness to be so vulnerable. The exchange is heavenly. To show a sister how truly magnificent she is by depicting her in her full, luminous splendor – this is the greatest gift to me.

I have personally printed each one of these images, and am donating all of the profits to Sanctuary for Families – a New York City-based organization that aids and empowers survivors of domestic and gender violence. These survivors include women, transgender persons and children – many of whom are homeless and living in fear while fleeing from their perpetrators. During these unprecedented times, the need for these services has escalated to a heartbreaking level in New York City.
