FOODFACE (2009) is a series of diptych photographs that record the last thing I ate and my face each day for a period of 6 months. This index was intended to create a photographic system of accountability for my daily food choices and their direct impact on my physical appearance. I aimed to harness the strength in my creative drive to make a set of images for a future audience to witness and evaluate my commitment to changing my diet. Instead of visible weight loss in the portraits, the timeline reveals the faces of waning hope, desperation, and ultimately the surrender to the all too familiar feeling of defeat. This first major series marks the clear beginning to my evolving research on the fat body, metrics of discipline, self-portraiture, and delusions of time travel.
