The Frame - "Since I began photographing 30 years ago, I have photographed men. Over the years, I have also photographed transgender people on several occasions. Self-portraits are another recurring motif over the course of 30 years. My own thousands of contact sheets are evidence of an ongoing search, both conscious and unconscious, for identity and the ever-changing and ephemeral nature of the human condition. In addition to these images, the book begins and ends with photographs of moraine rocks. These rocks were pushed forward by the ice cap. When the ice melted 10,000 years ago, they stopped where they are today. The expanded self-portrait and reflection in others is a way of approaching the historical renegotiation that is currently taking place regarding the idea of the male."
