About me:
I write the website snakegirl.net.
I make short, documentary videos on political and subcultural topics. So far these topics have included immigrant rights marches, roller derby girls, portraits of eccentric individuals, travels in India, pro-choice activism, and tattoo grrrls. I am an activist, an academic, and an obsessive documenter. I am interested in capturing the processes of justice for socially significant political movements-as well as the vivid flavor of underground cultures.
CURRENTLY, I am working on "Covered," a documentary about women and tattoos, including heavily tattooed women and the female tattoo artists. During the last two years I have been filming at tattoo conventions, shops, roller derby games, and whereever else tattooed women gather. After 60+ interviews with amazing women from across the country, I have finally started the editing process. This documentary brings together a community of tattooed women who discuss issues such as: identity, tattoo discrimination, working in the industry, family reactions, personal expression, and tattooed motherhood.
The latest project is a promotional photography book about the making of "Covered." It is available for sale by clicking the logo:
