Using straightforward portraiture and the odd angle A Woman of Substance is an attempt at the universal idea of a life lived from the unique perspective of one woman. The dilemma is getting to her essence. Yet, also recognizing the mystery that resides in all women. An unknowable self that maintains and guards her inner most thoughts and ideas. That is the real truth of the project. That is, to portray that fractured soul of many selves as best as one can. These ten images travel through numerous adjectives but, in the end this individual woman remains unique unto herself. We can only imagine and that is what defines her as - A Woman of Substance.
