Cindy Sherman: I started using myself in, in college in those early classes, partly because my teacher—there was, like, this rumor, I mean, I think it was true, though—that at the end of every season, you know, the end of every year of her course, all of her students would traipse off into some nice woodland park where there were waterfalls and whatnot, and everybody would get naked and take pictures of one another. And I just was so terrified of that idea that I, as one of the projects—I think she said to confront something that you’re afraid of—and so, I took these pictures of me naked, but kind of really just really, like, stark, like feeling like I’m just stark naked and, like, looking at the camera. And then I started deforming my body, sort of to try to hide myself. And I had also, at that point in my life, outside of college and just growing up, been really fascinated with dressing up and using makeup, but to distort my face, not just to look pretty. And so, it was really my boyfriend at the time who sort of said, “You should combine these.” You know, like. And that’s kind of when I started, just, yeah, using the camera on my face and transforming into different people.
