But I have sometimes thought that a woman’s nature is like a great house full of rooms: there is a hall, through which everyone passes… the drawing room, where one receives formal visits; the sitting room, where members of the family come and go as they list; but beyond that, far beyond, are other rooms, the handles of whose doors perhaps are never turned; no one knows the way to them, no one knows whither they lead; and in the innermost room, the holy of the holies, the soul sits alone. - Ms. Edith Wharton, "The Fullness of Life"
My name is Elizabeth. I am a sensualist and an obsessive observer of titillating subjects. I’ve an infatuation with the resuscitation of emotion. I like to poke at the provocative and look for the authentic. I focus on impulse and fervor and consciousness. To capture this, I take pictures.
To study the rhythm and rhyme of the body- its essence, isms and presence- allows me to discover the character and qualities behind its form and features. For me, the soul is projection, and I am much more interested in this last tidbit; and for whatever reason, I feel the constant need to communicate this up close and personally.
