Artist Statement
Jennifer Stewart

self portraits put me in front of my camera. where there is room for chance. i can't predict how it will turn out. what i love about doing self portraits is that they are completely honest. the photographs are records of my most private moments.

taking a portrait of someone else puts me behind my camera in a completely different experience. i am deliberate and careful. i am not surprised. this portrait has been living in my box of negatives, hiding. i had this unsettling feeling when i looked at it. it's staged, out of context. it felt forced.

i'm looking at it now in a different light. this is a self portrait. there is a detachment, a loneliness, a strength.

"a domestic woman" is me.

2010-09-19T07:41:00.000-07:00

yesterday was my birthday and i asked my friends to bring over 1 photograph each for show and tell. this was mine:

this is a picture of my cottage, which was built by my grandfather. it was taken around 1973 by my mother Judy. i chose it because i love fall, my family and trees.

happy fall!

collective sense of self

2010-07-24T06:31:00.000-07:00

these self portraits are very similar to another local artist's self portrait. if you know who you are......let me know.

im really interested in the collaboration between artists. whether intentional or unintentional, the resulting work speaks to some sort of "collective sense of self" (mr.schreier)

2010-06-22T18:22:00.001-07:00

i kept laughing at this video of my friend falling off a bike while playing frisbee. SO, i decided to take stills of it and figure out at which point in the fall i laugh the hardest..as it turns out, i laughed the hardest at the third frame, where he is about to eat the pavement.
