Cindy Sherman: I think part of it for me was also me coming to terms with how I’ve always had this affection and affinity for makeup and transformation. And yet, in the early mid-70s when I was in college, it was kind of not cool for women, you know. We weren’t, like, going to, we weren’t going to wear bras, we weren’t going to wear makeup, we were just going to be natural and not dye our hair or do anything that would at all try to heighten our appearance. We were, we were just going to be ourselves. And so, I think it was this guilt that I felt for still liking makeup and this artifice. And I think that that series in particular, because it starts out with how I actually looked like—I wasn’t trying to look frumpy that day, that’s actually how I looked—and then gradually each image goes on to add a little bit, to take a little bit more away from myself, and to add a little bit more of this other vampy character at the very end. So, I think it also just kind of reflects my state of mind. And it also then allowed me to play with this stuff that was really fun to do, and yet I wasn’t supposed to really like it anymore, you know?
