Biography
I am a visual artist with deep roots in photography, the daughter of a photographer, born within the light of the image. I have traversed different artistic languages -- from sculpture to drawing, from glass to the stage -- only to return to photography as the most authentic and necessary form of expression.
My work explores identity, the body, truth and the imperfect beauty of things. I have produced thousands of images, self-portraits, symbolic visions and thematic series.
I recognize myself in my artistic signature, BNNRRB. It is my social security number, they stuck it on me.
