"It also made me think about when I was 19 and in school doing
photography. I was so nervous about objectifying women’s bodies that I
was afraid to have my friends’ bodies in my photographs. I started doing
work about objects. In a way, if you don’t grapple with difficult
subjects, if women don’t take pictures of other women ever, then we
never find other ways of being. If we just say “Capitalism sucks! Fuck
it!” you can’t really escape it. We have to find other ways that meets
people’s needs that is fair instead of just throwing your hands up in
the air and being like, I’m going to spend the rest of my life trying to
drop out and be the opposite. When you’re the opposite of something you just totally
reinforce it."
