Artist Statement:

About My Sisters 1996-2006
I began photographing my
sisters in 1993 during my
first photography class in
high school. It wasn’t until I
was a junior at Mass Art that
I began to take it seriously
as a project and see its
larger potential.
I began trying to compare my
sister’s very different lives
to my own. We have different
mothers; theirs being Jane my
stepmother, but we share the
same father I was fascinated
by how I thought they were
being socialized into Girls
with a capital G. I loved when
I could catch them staring in
the mirror pretending to have
breasts, playing with their
toy ironing boards and dolls
or playing dress-up in a
princess dress. At the same
time, I started photographing
their friends. What I
discovered defeated my notion
that there was an easy
definition to what a girl is.

At this time Abby was seven
and Emily was eight. Emily was
adopted when I was 12 because
my stepmother and father
couldn’t conceive. As soon as
they adopted her, Jane became
pregnant with Abby. They are
nine months apart and where
always in the same grade. I

http://Dear Friends, In my last email I announced my partnership with United States Artists to raise funds for the BAG project to travel to Montana. I am writing to you again with a plea for action. There are only 30-something days left for me to reach my funding goal or I do not receive any of the donated funds. I have some great supporters so far, but a long way to go. Once I reach 25% of my funding goal, United States Artists has matching funds that kick in, so that $1000 goal is a major incentive right now. Also remember that all contributions are tax deductible. Lastly, I have a starving artist special not listed on the site. If you are short on money, I ask for only $10. For that $10 you can receive an emailed jpg of the BAG image of your choice. The next person to donate even a dollar more gets to choose the image for the next people to get and so on. Let's make this a fun game! The information about the project is below. Please check out the website, watch the video, donate and repost the link. You'll have my gratitude and credit for supporting this project. I really do need your help to gain momentum for this project to get off of the ground. I thank you, as always for your support. Please forgive any cross-postings, as I do not mean to spam anyone, only look for support. I am pleased to announce that I have been selected to participate in a new online community of America's finest artists called USA Projects http://www.unitedstatesartists.org/ created by United States Artists to expand its mission of investing in America's finest artists. USA Projects is in a "Beta" stage in which a few artists have been selected to participate. You can join this community and help it grow! My Profile and Showcase are already up, and I've just launched a new project called BAG. Check it out here: http://www.unitedstatesartists.org/project/bag I have some great BAG related perks available for anyone that's interested in supporting me in this effort, and if you can't support the project financially, I'd love it if you helped to spread the word and tell your friends about it. There is a video on my page, with me exploring the contents of someone's bag you know you can't miss! The goal of the project is to fund a BAG photo shoot and solo exhibition in Glasgow, Montana. USA Projects is a community where America's finest artists and those that love and support them can share their latest work, discover new artists, enter into a dialog with each other, and make direct donations (of any size, all of which are tax deductible) to new projects created by each artist. This is the first website in our knowledge that allows direct public donations between art patrons and accredited artists on the Internet. Thank you for your support and interest, Best regards and Happy Year of the Rabbit! Ellie
