Having grown up in a cult, this artist/ photographer uses her New England hometown’s strict religious culture to explore what she couldn’t as a child growing up. That being femininity, sexuality yet she was infused with knowledge of witchcraft and strong female power. This series in particular known as Cult of Womanhood explores femininity in her life and the different interpretations and stages while growing up from being sexualized by older men to the pressure of being female. These photos are dreamily designed while also diving into a deeper meaning than aesthetics can allow through subject matter. The use of the word cult is important and necessary to the interpretation of the work, as it adds a haunting sense to the subjects.
