My work is often referred to as “Honorific Portraiture.” I work the tradition through Cultural Portraiture. Influences are diverse as are subjects and styles in my work. My black-and-white portraits, as in my “With Us” series in the 1990’s, were influenced by portrait artists of the time, while more recent work, utilizing natural light and candid settings like roadside diners and hotel rooms, point to “snapshot” and “documentary” influences. I continue using the language of the studio with instant-film self portraits. Specific representations in my work are chosen to focus the viewer’s attention on identity’s presence and to force a reading: confrontational, and inviting. The work operates to suggest a strong, undeniable presence of desire and is intended to engage the viewer in a participatory process. GEORGIE
