There are two major strands in my photography, both reflecting an early formation in the theater. On the one hand, I see myself as an ethnographer, fascinated by demotic performance and looking for the origins of theatrical expression in music, dance, and play. At the same time that I have been making pictures in other cultures, I have also been exploring my own domestic scene. In my family work, I have looked at the dramas, both large and small, of daily life in the family, where each member is an actor in a sort of chamber play that we write as we live, where real feelings are performed in real time for one another and for the camera.
