Cindy Sherman Project

For the past few weeks my photography class has been working on a self portrait project called the Cindy Sherman project, which is a project that was done by 2 highschools lead by Brock University. We were to take two self portraits and two portraits of us pretending to be a character. At the end, one of our photos is going to be displayed at an art gallery, which is pretty cool. The following is what I have chosen to display at the art gallery, along with the artist statement below.

Home Is Where The Heart Is

  



 

The concept behind this photo is how someone's job can affect their family life. I first thought of this idea because my grandma was a nurse, and once I talked to her about her time as a nurse, I realized that it must have been really hard to raise a family. She worked night shifts, so she didn't get to see her family as much as some other families would see each other, which is what I was trying to portray in this photo. I found it really inspiring how she tried to spend as much time with her family as she could, and how she was able to do such a good job raising her family
