In doing this homage I decided what better way to understand this artist than to imitate her work in the most creative way. It turned out to be quite a journey. Limited by inexperience and training I began to experiment with my own ideas of techniques using coffee, tea, watercolor, pastels, creative intuition, and a flame. The beautiful thing is as Sally used her children in her photos I unintentionally chose my very patient daughter Amber as my model. She laid in the bathtub, hair on plexiglass draped in a garbage bag, white cloth, flashlight, and blow up, air-filled packing material for 3 hours while I shot four rolls of film with limited lighting and inability to use the tripod properly while standing in and over the bathtub. It was an intimate exchange of time and memories that will last forever. It helps me to truly understand what Sally was trying to capture with her children. Amber is 19, she's going to be 20 in April. This is the last year of her teens and I want to appreciate that as much as I can before she transitions into her true adult years. She enjoyed the process so much she asked if we could do more. I hope we can find the time to do it as she now lives 11 hours away from home.
