Sisters Project

Maggie and Liza, born only nineteen months apart, inherit a world of rapid change, shifting societal expectations, and aggressive marketing. But they also live lives apart, spending their hours in our old farmhouse in rural Virginia, the daughters of progressive Mennonites in the Shenandoah Valley.

I've photographed the lives of my children since they were born and have watched, fascinated, as the young sisters have navigated the tension between worlds. Inquisitive and wonderstruck, lovers of the natural world, their imaginative lives sometimes incorporate the symbols and rituals of consumer culture, but often twist them to their own subversive, aesthetic, and humorous uses.
