I do not care what Michelle Obama is wearing. I do care that the position of the first lady is that of a glorified house wife and apparently fashion icon. Way to set an example! Ladies, we too, can parlay those degrees and careers into unpaid positions as the First Lady! If Michelle Obama really wants to make a difference, she'll demand a paycheck. Otherwise she's just riding the coat tails of her husband and that does nothing to empower women.

Every image evolved over the course of the year. While I was creating a new collage on a blank page, I was going forward or backward and adding and subtracting from pages. This book has been a very personal experience for me. It is very much a visual narrative and you can start anywhere in the book and land on a story. I am especially fond of Book III. I regard it as a love song made with scissors and glue.
