As a child I lived much of my life in my head; creating journeys, stories, and adventures at the drop of a hat. With age my imagination never subsided, even at my families request to live in reality. In my father’s words, “I have jumped the shark.”
The Misadventures of D.L.Coquette is allowing the viewer a moment in my mind. It is silly, it is off the wall, and it is far from real. Each photograph can be analyzed and deciphered to produce some existentialist meaning but in truth this series is about my journey as a woman being open and accepting of who I am, quirks included. Although I have given my imagination a name and alter ego, even creating a costume to enhance it, I am putting myself out there and in my vulnerability have said this is my reality, this is me.
