These photographs are being shown in Los Angeles, CA at the Kopeikin Gallery.
I am new to this photographer, however after reading the premise to the works, she reminds me of a cross between Alex Prager and Katy Grannan, which can make for some interesting images. I think my favorite might be the woman on the Tiger rug....
"The artist placed ads on Craigslist and in newspapers in various US cities soliciting older woman to pose as glamorous movie stars. The pictures are collaborations: Each participant is asked to provide her own makeup, hair and wardrobe. As active players in the affair, the women are able to shape their individual portrayal. The shows are fantasies, and the performance reflects each woman's perception of glamour."
