'Masking Suburbia'
This project involved my three boys, Reuben, Morgan, Charlie and their adventures in everyday life. Some may call it chaos and mayhem but life with three under three, although tough, is a life full of every day rewards. They are my "Three Little Pigs". I wanted to portray my own version of the story - The Three Little Pigs in a modern day setting. I have used pig masks in this childhood exploration of fiction, fantasy, adventure, discovery and role play. My inspiration came from looking at Sally Mann's work of her own children and I wanted to explore how I could show how beautiful my children are while hiding their faces from the public eye, giving a different take on the family snapshot.
