In chaotically stunning portraits, HER captures the essence of women’s struggle to break the mold of female perfection; truly allowing rage, encouraging body acceptance, and exploring creativity. Marjorie Salvaterra strips away the pretense of flawlessness picture by picture, displaying dark whimsy using simple yet evocative props such as wigs, umbrellas, and straightackets, revealing the raw intimacy of women struggling against their own senses of self. HER examines the psychology of age and gender through the lens of unexpected interpretation and exaggerated gestures. At the same time, Marjorie celebrates the individuality of womanhood in these 84 striking, perversely humorous, black-and-white images of women of all types. HER is at once incisive social commentary and a creative exploration of the female sense of self. Marjorie Salvaterra is a photographer whose roles as a wife and mother inspired her ongoing interest in female community and the roles of women around the world.
